Nice work,
It runs left to right, mid way down the image.

"... joining gradient ridden panels and maintaining colour is a real pain ...", that is an absolute truth !

I could not identify the region you imaged. Where is it ?
If you scroll down the large image you'll see where the stars change colour. I ended up getting a trial copy of Photoshop CS6 and used the photomerge function on auto which looks to have blended the panels together. I'm no mosaic expert but that's the only way I found to get a decent join. It's the Rho Ophiuchi Cloud complex near M4 cluster.

I think the top half is too Yellow Pete. If it stays cloudy I might have another go at the colours

The FOV of view with this combo is so big Rick, it's hard to find targets large enough to fill the view. I did have a go with the NB filters in the wheel last week, but the little 60 just doesn't seem to get enough light to produce a decent NB image. I have also stripped and rebuilt the RC8 focuser so it's back in the dome for another go
