An interesting comparison

[strongmanmike]

I was looking at my FSQ album thumbnails and realised my set of images captured so far with this new outfit are all un-cropped full frame 4deg X 4deg field images, so you can compare the relative sizes of the objects I have imaged so far...just thought it was cool :)

The Carina Nebula doesn't look that huge now and the seagull is really quite big...

I know what you mean, sometimes I prefer wider fields of open clusters as it helps give them a place in the universe :)

Nice gallery Mike, glad to see you are having so much fun with you wide field rig. Have you thought of a trying a mosaic? :scared3:

[strongmanmike]

:scared:

:lol:

And for every image you’re putting up with this rig I have to create a bl&#dy 6 panel zillion hour mosaic to match the Fov!
Kill me now .... :sadeyes:

[strongmanmike]

:lol: I was just looking at the relative sizes of each object, that's all, not how big the field was, we don't often think much about it

Mozaics?... :scared3: ...did someone mention mozaics...:scared2:

[SimmoW]

I gotta nab that Seagull soon! Or should i do Eta C? Just to stir Mike....

5 new versions of M42, Simon :thumbsup:

PS. Interesting comparison, Mike. I love how easy and stress free things are at 3.5 arcsec/pixel too!

Just don't encourage Peter Ward to repost his reposted Eta Carinas..pleeeeease :prey:

[strongmanmike]
