Notes

 

This is my first attempt at a mosaic and, as can be seen by the missing data in the bottom right corner, I still have quite a bit to learn.  There are two panels in this mosaic each combined in the Hubble Palette.  The images were processed and the mosaic was assembled in CCDStack with final adjustments and JPEG conversion in Photoshop.
