I have been collecting data to make a mosaic of the SMC and surrounds.

This is the latest version with three panels 9MB

Needs more data but looks very promising. Another six panels would be nice. Weather is always the limiting factor.

Final version for now 13MB

I have uploaded a better version. the centre panel has far too much colour gradients will recollect when the SMC is higher.

Excellent work Bert, so much to see, I can never resist going to the large version.

Weather looks poor for some time so I squeezed out this image with the data I had.

Thanks for that image Bert, I was out looking at them last night with my 12" Dob and appreciate the wide field view to judge the relative separation. Unfortunately last night wasn't the best viewing at my place so I will be going back when I get a darker night, SMC in particluar.

I have already said that I envy your sky?
A delicious field
