M42 Luminosity mosaic part 2

Hi,

Another try at getting a good L channel mosaic
of M42 with the DSI Pro II Mono and GSO 12 on my GEM.

I didn't realise until dawn that there was very thin, high cloud.
It didn't seem to affect the contrast too much.
Again, I underestimated the size of this beast

No wavelets have been applied to this.
RegistaxV4 seems to do the best job on wavelets for me, without
adding halos to the stars, but I can't work out why it only applies
the wavelets to a small part of the mosaic and not the whole image?

regards,
Steve B.

Doug, you know the story.....

I'm still psyching myself up for the 48mm chop

Until then...it's a case of a manual change, which takes me
about a bloody hour to get a good refocus, East-West aligned field
of view etc for each filter....and usually by then the clouds have
conspired against me.

And since you suggested masking tape, now I hear it bloody emits
X-rays!.....
