Jellyfish & Monkey-head (Mosaic, SHO)
IC443 and NGC 2174; aka Jellyfish and Monkey head in the same part of space! Challenging effort to mosaic two panels, where each panel was shot using a different camera and scope: CCD + CMOS. I never did this before, but kinda felt that Astro Pixel Processor can do the job, and results were shocking, and the Pixi magic did the rest of the trick, you be the judge. Attaching the original panels in SHO and the APP mosaic image to show how the stars literally lined up to get this image created, you be the judge! Happy New Year to all our Astro Pals!
