Let me join the queue in expressing wonderment at that image, Jase.

Rarely does an image of that very familiar region of the sky take my breath away these days, but your image did that. The hi res image is simply stupendous - I felt like I was at the eyepiece (of very large aperture!), as I scanned across the image.

I particularly admire the interplay between dark nebula and stunning star fields.

Cheers Rod. I'm pleased to hear that you liken it to using an eye piece with such a large FoV. Long gone are my days of visual work, but I have thought of getting a cheap dob whilst the other scope is taking images. It may just rekindle something. Thanks again for taking the time to check the image out and make comment.

Oh. My. God.

Talk about a wide field!

Fantastic work Jase... Serious dedication, 12 panels at 3 hours a piece... absolutely seamless mosaic work, the exposure seems very uniform across the entire field...

Absolutely superb..

Thanks Mike. I saw Stéphane's work a few days ago on another forum and Houghy also mentioned it in post #24 of this thread. Don't suppose you noticed the RHO reference in the APOD text did you. It is with great honour that you compare my work against that of a professional operation such as ESO.

Well he certainly had some good skies but the equipemnt used was almost identical to yours ie STL + Tak FSQ106ED but a Tak NJP mount rather than Titan.

Your work is as good, Stephane just kept on going with the mozaic is all....quite reasonable when you have something like 90% perfect clear nights and the rest still useable!

Yes I noticed the link to your Rho shot - nice!

Mike

Yep... If i had 90% perfect skies, and 10% still better than most peoples average night, I'd be doing mosaics with mega data too... Unfortunately, my great skies are few and far between..
