its actually a lot of fun putting one of these together , you should have a try then on a rainy night put it together.
I've done quite a few mosaics, most of them were with the untracked dob and the ToUcam back a couple of years.

The biggest mosaics I've done recently (a year ago!) were with my 10" (on EQ platform) and the DMK (in August and October 2006):
- Plato and Vallis Alpes Mosaic
- Straight wall and Surrounds Mosaic

I do need to plan for another large scale one.. they're just so much work!
