I did do it before but that was with an FSQ and its reducer and the 16803 and even that took 12 panels.

LOL, I cannot imagine how many panels it would be to do the whole area with the QSI and FSQ. At this stage I am only thinking of doing maybe 4 panels this season and see what that gives me. Perhaps expanding to more next season. The scope would be sitting silent at present otherwise as I have done quite a few images in the region at wide field now, so it might be fun to try another mosaic.
