This is one of the most spectacular images I've ever seen Colin. I enjoy doing very widefield mosaics myself but using much larger individual panes.

Can I ask a few questions ...
1 - Where are you taking the images from (so I can get an idea of the light pollution you are dealing with)
2 - What software do you use for pointing the telescope and working out the overlap ? I use Sequence Generator Pro for small mosaics but it doesnt work at all for large ones (a known issue)
3- You mention that you had issues with some frames being below 30 degrees and specifically attribute it to the airmass. If you were in a very dark location with low light-pollution near the horizon would you get a much better result ?

Thanks, Kelvin
