Thanks Peter.
Always rewarding when a plan comes together. Sometimes images just "click", this was one of those moments despite wrestling with the RGB data over a few days.

Yeah, I hear you Marc. Weather and work commitments has driven me to now take a different approach. I've decided to go "hardcore" and finish setting up my observatory for autonomous data acquisition. At present, everything other than opening the observatory shutters and monitoring the weather is automated (focusing, guiding, pointing, dome slaving etc are all done without assistance). I'm waiting delivery of Sirius motorised shutters (should be here this week) and cloud sensor (in three weeks). This will finish the project, hopefully introducing major efficiencies given I can control the observatory located 160km's under darks rural skies from the city and also on "school nights" when I need to work the following day. Just what I need for these multi-panel mosaics.
The road ahead is fraught with danger, but extended insurance will cover it.

verry impressive mate |
Cheers Benny. Weather can't be controlled, but air traffic such as planes and ufo's are easy to deal with using data rejection. Don't let them get in the way of having a shot at the lovely region of the sky. At least before its the end of the Rho season - there's still time.
