I wanted to try to merge to images together...this was a very frustrating and time consuming job.

I started imaging this target very early in the night just above the horizon.

4 x 4 minute unguided exposures for both images = total 8 x 4 minutes

Taken with the ED80 and 350D

Had to darken the image to reduce vignetting but otherwise I was happy with my first attempt of a mozaic even though it was only 2 images.

No flats or bias frame just a single dark used for calibration.

I have attached a starry nights image for info on target.

The 2 clusters are NGC 6231 and ??????
Hope you like it....I give it 4/10
