Subject: NGC7000, IC1318, NGC6888, etc.

Image Size: 2 panels = 2 x 3168 x 2112 (with overlap) -- reduced to 67% size

Image FOV: 18 degrees by 17 degrees (approx) Image Scale: 17 arc-second/pixel (reduced to 67% size)

Date: 2011/07/01 and 2012/09/19

Exposure: IC1318: 20 x 10m = 3 hours 20 minutes, ISO 1600, f/2.8. NGC7000: 24 x 5m = 2 hours ISO 1600, f2.8. Total exposure = 5hours 20m

Filter: Astronomik CLS Camera: Hutech-modified Canon T1i/500D Lens: Contax/Yashica (Carl Zeiss) 85mm f/2.8 Mount: Astro-Physics AP900

Guiding: ST-402 autoguider through TV-102iis guidescope, Maxim DL autoguiding software with 6-second guide exposures

Processing: Raw conversion and calibration with ImagesPlus; Aligning and combining with Registar. Final processing in Photoshop -- levels adjustment, cropping to 4752x3168 to remove ragged edges from alignment. Two panels combined into a mosaic using AutoPano Pro 2 (Mercator projection, SmartBlend). The mosaic was reduced to 2/3 size and then converted to 8-bit mode and JPEG, etc. with Photoshop.
