SMC - 9 Panel Mosaic

I have added in another three panels to my Small Magellanic Cloud project for a mosaic consisting of 9 panels. Just about gets the whole thing in the field of view now and I could almost pull the project up at this point. I suspect however that pressure will be brought to bear to continue this journey. We will see .

Statistics on this continue to grow thus:
Subs used = 962
Total exposure time = 125 hours
Cumulative file size for collected data = 16.1 Gigabytes
Master TIFF file size for final image = 293 Megabytes
And, also, total elapsed time to collect data = approximately 2.5 years

Image has been posted on Astrobin and Flickr as per links below. I've given up on Gigapan for now as the service is too unreliable. Click on images in Astrobin and Flickr for larger versions.

Comments and critique welcome.

Clear skies,
Rodney
