Jewelbox wide(ish) field

Very long time between posts. I finally got out imaging again last Saturday from Wiruna. Great night. No wind, cool enough, dry and absolute perfect seeing and transparency. Moon went down around 21:25 so I had all the time to shoot until 4:00 when it clouded over and rain on Sunday midday.

This is 5x10min in the area of the jewelbox. First time I used the triplet in RGB. Minor tracking issues. Been out of the game for too long (6 months) and didn't tighten the DEC clutch enough so I wasted half hour figuring out DEC drifts in PHD. Sounds familiar? Very happy with the scope so far. Nice colors and minimal amount of noise. Hardly any reflections.

Did another 2h on Eta and 9 panels mosaic around Antares/Rho that I'm still to process and stitch. Will post later.

There's a bigger version here with more details. [1800px]
Thanks for looking.
