Well last night I trusted 7Timer and set up to complete the mosaic that I had in mind. In the end it wound up as a 12 panel mosaic about 9000x9000 pixels in dimension and about 150Mb in size so I dont think it would fit into IIS requirements for a download. Anyway excuse the compression artifacts but this is the best I could present on this forum but I'm really pleased how the whole image turned out. I spent last night litterally shooting between two banks of clouds to finish it off.
I could not have done it without Sequence Generator Pro software which enabled me to get back to the same image region to withing 2-6 pixels each time over a weeks worth of imaging. Its plate solving and autofocusing are critical to this sort of endevour.
I was pleased that the bar of the LMC is prominent in this image and shows well (Troy, thats why it appears under exposed in the top RHS of the image as there are less stars there!)
Hope you enjoy and thanks to all those that took the time to view and make a comment.
