Nice job Chris; could do with some much shorter subs so you could quieten down the small blown out areas.

Thanks Raymo. Good idea about the overblown bits. I might also have also been too aggressive with the stretching.

Good one Chris

As well as the bean you have the cluster NCG 1783

Now you have started on the edge, keep working to the other side

Well done.

Thanks Peter. I haven't had the guts to try a mosaic yet. Got no idea how to start

Mosaics:
The IP4AP.com has tutorials (have to pay $40 for subscription).
PI can stitch things up nicely.

Planning is the hard part.
Again spending money with 'TheSkyX' would make it easier (it works it all out for you).

I have manually done grids showing RA & DEC, target and FOV, however very time consuming.
