My first attempt at a mosaic with my widefield rig using the ASI6200 camera and Canon 200mm prime lens. I'm pleased with where this has landed and I'm sure will provide plenty of opportunities for widefield targets. Data captured in May and June this year.

it's a fascinating area and a popular target for obvious reasons. So many deep sky objects of interest. For this project I imaged in LRGB only but I'm interested to go back next year to see if there is any Ha to be had. Most images of this area are LRGB only but in theory one should be able to grab some Ha from Sharpless 2-9 surrounding the star Alniyat. I will have a shot next season and see how it goes.

Here is a link to the image on Astrobin.

Full acquisition details can be found in Astrobin post.

Comments and critique welcome.

Clears skies,
Rodney
