Excellent, getting close to a Casswell image that

The full res square crop is 14762x14762, I do have a larger version that is uncropped however Still only 18 panels though. Until next year!

Some of Troy's shots are amazing, certainly helps using a modded DSLR with the Ha response. I wouldn't say that the Ha response is bad in the D7200 but it certainly ain't great.

Thanks Bo. Equipment does all the work, I'm just the monkey pressing the buttons

I had hopes of originally doing this as a HaLRGB with my QHY163 and the Sigma Art but between my first Sigma having issues, QHY having some delays with getting the adapters and me being so lazy in ordering rings ect. (they only arrived a couple of weeks ago) it never happened.
I do plan on getting a Samyang 135mm F/2 for that bit of extra resolution of which you speak

You are right about Saturn, it actually moves a noticeable amount night by night, enough that if my 7 frames had been done a one per night statistical rejection could make it go away

Lost count to the number of times I reprocessed this but it has been shelved for this year
