Mosaic M42

Looooong time, no post.
Havnt picked up a scope since Astrofest and prior to that for 12 months. So I decided to see how much I can image from suburbia now that some crazy loon up the road is illuminating a really huge Lepard tree with a floodlight and a bunch of crazy hippies a few doors down go out each night waving torches around (not to mention BrisVegas CBD being only 4.5 Km away).
Thought I do some thing easy to test goto and the rest of the system and found that SGP placed my camera to within 4-8 pixels of where I told it to goto with plate solving. Dome worked flawlessly as did all systems
Did a mosaic with 4x10 min Lum of the two areas imaged before clouds came in. Stacked in DSS and ICE to merge.
