About this image

My first try out of mosaic image building so only 2 tiles here reflecting time limitations / exposure count at 180s per image. 30 for each tile which used up 4 hours effective shooting time. Stitched together with Siril with a little colouration from Affinity, mixing red with more yellow for the nebulosity
