Is it greedy of me to think that with $900M euro's, I'd bust out on 90x Canon 200mm F/1.2L's, and 90x STL11000C's, a giant EQ fork mount.. Have 10 groups of 10, each group would point at the exact same spot, and adjacent groups field of view would overlap each other by 10 arc minutes. take 1x10min exposure per individual camera/lens, you would have a 9 panel mosaic with 10x10mins per panel, a massive field of view you could probably get a very deep image of the entire night sky in about an hour.....
That would be - INSANE!
Wow.. Off topic or what!

If thats going to be your midrange exposure, theres already quite a lot of neb extention, double or triple the sub time will be very deep.
For no darks or flats, that also has some fine smooth detail, exceptionally good processing.
Blending shorter exposures to provide smaller stars overall, and stop core blowout would make this project a potential DSLR classic, given the quality so far. Hope your PS skills are honed to do the multiexposure times justice, it will be a challenge.

Thank you Fred
I have done a early M42 about a month ago and layered about 5 layers but with a lot less exposures so it looked a bit grainy but the trap was visible
