Hello all!
Long time user, but first posting here...
Thought I'd share my latest mosaic, shot all in one night (9-7-2021), Negev Desert, Israel (Bortle 3 border 2, with excepetional seeing that night).
Hope you "enjoy the show!" 🙂

You hope we enjoy it? This is absolutely stunning! Great detail, not over-processed, I love it!

Now I connect the dots! 😉
Yes, thank you, I'm very pleased with the outcome...
And AAP makes mosaic stitching a breeze (usualy...)
I did have some trouble with star analysis on a single pane, was fixed by doing it over again.
Now, I have the same problem with another mosaic (Cygnus 6 panes) - hopefully will work it out.
(Working out 5 integrated panes, with the 6th pane individual calibrated lights).
Renewed edition of my 12 pane mosaic
Sometime ago all my Projects files were deleted (raw material was in a different drive)
I wanted to submit this image to a competition so had to remake this image.
Went for a different look this time, less cropping from original file, different process, etc.
Again, APP did a great job on the stitching.

Really nice, thanks for sharing!
edit: I say really nice, I meant stunning. 😉

Thank you!
Yeap, guessing I'll be doing some more remakes from time to time due to that mishap, well another lesson learnt.
