Thanks all.
This composition reminds me of a Protea flower, others see a skull like structure or face.
For those that have performed long focal length mosaic work before, in planning, matching position angles for rotated flats and FWHM values per panel, I'm sure there is greater appreciation for the work involved. Take the total exposure time and quadruple it, that's a good indication how much time was spent on processing this image. Its a labour of love of course. Mosaics remain the pinnacle of DSO imaging. Uber resolution with moderate to wide fields are hard to beat and offer new ways to present familiar objects.
Thanks again for taking the time to check the image out.
