27 panel SMC mosaic finished!!

Hi,
Well I’ve finally finished my mosaic of the SMC!!
Here's the large version.
http://www.pbase.com/comets2/image/152708496
Still only 25% of original which is nearly 2 gig's in jpg!!

Ended up with 27 panels, these consist of 60 minute and 30 minute panels, a total of 22.5 hours.
Subs were 5 minutes at ISO 1600.
Equipment used.
8” F/4 astrograph , baader type coma corrector,. HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D.
Panels stacked in Deep Sky Stacker.
Panels stitched in Microsoft ICE.
Processed in Photoshop 7.
Next time I'll plan mosaics out, so I don't need as many panels!
Cheers,
Justin.
