Cheers mate. Since I'm going to be up there for more nights this year than I normally do, I was also thinking of doing some sort of mosaic. That's what this rehearsal is for

Thanks, Marcus.

Cheers mate. As a few others have commented, it puts it in perspective how close they are relative to each other.

Dooooo eeeeet.

Cheers mate.

Lots going on in that field

There is lots to look at. Re angles/framing, this is simply at sky angle 0 rotation. I do try to consider rotating frames for composition, but for this particular one, the easy solution (no rotation) worked for me.

Not sure how you are going to do an LRGB out of it from here though. I normally do LRGB panels and then combine those into a mosaic.

Greg.

Thanks mate. I used a 3500x3000px image downloaded from catalogues using PI's CatalogStarGenerator script. Since that's the reference image for the mosaic, I'm hoping it'll be a simple task to register all frames (L, R, G, B, whatever) to it and combine. That's the plan, anyways

Cheers mate. I'm really enjoying the wider fields with multiple objects, as opposed to tightly framed single objects.
