Thanks Peter. 239arcmins square on the FSQ provides plenty of imaging area real-estate.

Cheers Fred. Run out of wide fields.
Unless I mosaic the entire southern sky at 530mm, there is not chance of that happening - sorry to disappoint. That said variety is the spice of life, so will be sure to provide you with some long focal length work soon.
I did comprehend the duo tonal effect, but in the 1:1 original its not strong enough to worry about. I even acquired three hours of OIII data on Eta given its a strong OIII target to blend it, but found it dulled the impact of the Ha data. In retrospect, maybe if I make and OIII lum and OIII mapped colour it would have worked. Thanks for your comments.

Cheers Mark. You've got the gear for mosaics thats for sure. The FSQ with its flat wide field is a treat. 530mm FL is just enough to grasp subtle features in moderately sized targets. I did a paid processing job for a guy in the US which entailed a nine panel mosaic of the horse head region at 4876mm FL (24"RC). That was a hair raising exercise in comparison to a wide field vista with the FSQ. Give it a go, no harm in trying. Thanks again.
