This was my main project at AF this year - a 4 panel mosaic of the M20/M21/M8 area. Have always loved the big chip panaromas of this area, but the budget won't stretch to an 11000 or 16803 for a long time.
AF left plenty of time for a multi-frame effort, and Sequence Generator has a great mosaic planning and execution tool now. Besides, more time for chatting, helping, (drinking)
Each LRGB panel is roughly 60:35:30:35 (all unbinned: 5 min RGB, 10min Lum)
2 of the panels were further boosted with an additional 1-2 hrs of data taken from Leyburn in July - positioning wasn't quite right at that time, but PI seems to have happily knitted the two together in the end.
Wanted to show the relative brightness and colours against the milky way stars without pushing too hard. Comments and critique most welcome on how its worked out - thanks for checking it out.
