Mosaic silliness!

Hi,

It's been too hot to do any decent imaging with an unmodded DSLR.

So i thought I'd do some short exposure wide fields with the intention of making a mosaic. I chose the LMC and SMC with two panels, I tried to stitch it together in DSS, would'nt work.
Realised there was not enough overlap, really needed another panel.

So I thought, I'd run it throught photo stitch that came with my canon camera. It did a good job of blending them even though it's not correct.

A bit of fun anyway.

Equipment.

Skywatcher ED80, orion mini guider, orion field flattener, HEQ pro 5 mount.
Unmodded canon 1100D, piggybacked nifty fifty lens, 2 minute subs at iso 800, total 10 minutes, each panel.
Stacked in DSS and processed in PS7.

Cheers,

Justin.
