Heart and Fish Head nebula Mosaic using NINA

This video features steps taken to create a 4 panel mosaic in NINA. The mosaic of the Heart and Fish Head nebula was produced using a Skywatcher Esprit 120MM APO refractor. It was definitely a challenge capturing data in mediocre winter skys here in Mechanicsville MD. (Bortle 4-5 with average seeing) The total integration is approximately 33 hours or 8.25 hours for each of 4 panels in Ha, OIII and SII Narrowband using ZWO 7nm filters. Resolution is 8026x6254. Imaging camera was a ZWO ASI 1600 Mono cooled to -20F and guiding was performed using ZWO ASI290 mono camera and ZWO Off Axis Guider. Processing began with each narrowband channel stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, followed by buildup of an RGB panel in the Hubble Palette using Photoshop. After the panels were created and averaged, they were assembled into the Mosaic using MS Image Composite Editor. Final editing of the Mosaic was done using Photoshop and Lightroom.
