Technically, as it was taken through a telescope and when you carefully read the category descriptions - Wide Field (camera shots), Deep Sky (telescope shots)...I made the call that Deep Sky was the safest option. Perhaps categories need to be based on FL.

Intersting, so if you had done another 2 frames to add to your current 2 frame mozaic using the FSQ would it still not be a wide field image?.. what about another 4, 5 or 6 frames resulting in a coverage of many square degrees of sky..still not a wide field? What if you had spent several months compiling many 10's of frames and did a mozaic of both the SMC and LMC in the one final image, still done with a "telescope" but certainly now a wide field image surely?
The FSQ is basically a 500mm telephoto lens too huh?
Hmm?..seems it is hard to cover all scenarios/deffinitions in imaging contests?
I think John and David will place it where they see fit regardless of which category you have ticked on the entry form anyway so it doesn't really matter in the end.
