Veil Complex

Just back from Astrofest and in 3 nights only managed 4 hours of data

If I knew who invented USB I'd turn em inside out. I had never ending USB issues and appear to have popped 2 hubs and a usb-serial device. Also the clutch on the robofocus decided to start slipping so back to the bart mask. That's the way it goes I guess. I was planning to swap scopes on day two but the RC8 didn't get a run at all

I have tried to capture my first mosaic here on the veil, 2 panels at 372mm FL so I could see it all. Boy is it dim or what!! Blended the panels in maxim. These are the first versions, it might be a bit small here and I won't put up a bigger one just yet. Got a new monitor coming next week, this 17" really doesn't have enough real estate to work with.

8 x 5minutes subs each for RGB on each panel, no Lum.
FS-60, QHY9.
