Heh he - thanks Mike. You do wonder sometimes in this hobby at 3am and 2 degrees what the heck you're doing. Its great when a plan comes together in the end though.
Would be great to tempt a few more south of the border gurus up. I'm sure the committee would happily sign you up for a talk or two. Worst places in the world to visit than SE QLD
I think you're right about the green - the last thing I did was zap some in the halos of some brighter stars. Didn't want to let the reds and blues get too strong, and being a member of the PI cult discourages me from whacking a lasso around the mid-field star cloud.
Might revisit later in the week when the eyes and brain are a bit fresher on this one.

Thanks Mike and Trish. The FSQ is a handful with the reducer in (getting properly flat field and OAG to fit), so F5 seems to work out best when slewing around multiple targets at a star party. Might do some more mosaicing when time next allows.
