When I purchased the SV70T I was very keen to fit the whole of this magnificent neb in the frame, but on close inspection it seemed a two panel mosaic was required.

After 3 months of data collection and a bazillion attempts to register 442 subs, here is my final mosaic for this season!
There's a nice Herbig Haro object in the upper right hand side, and maybe a few more objects of interest for the scientifically minded throughout the field.

O3 3nm 16 x 900secs Binx2
S2 3nm 16 x 900secs Binx2
RGB 15 x 60sec ea per panel (315 subs!)
