Thanks David. Mosaics are a lot of work but they bring a look that is hard to achieve without it.

Great job Greg, a pleasure for eyes...perhaps a tad saturated from my lcd

Thanks Elio. It is pretty colourful I backed it off a bit already I suppose it could do with a smidgen less.

A magnificent image. This area fascinates me, even though I've never imaged it myself.

Thanks for the nice compliment Kevin. It is an interesting area. Not often imaged.

I think you've done an excellent job in giving a natural look to a part of the sky with such a massive dynamic range. One of your best

Lovely image Greg plus the technical difficulty to stitch together different panels deserves you more kudos. I am also (slowly!) processing a mosaic of the same area and I am still struggling to find the perfect merging, get those panes to stay together seamlessly (in particular on colors) is always a headache..

Thanks Marco.

Yes it sure is. Its easier these days with proper pano stitching in Photoshop but it still requires the panels to be shot under similar circumstances, same exposures, same height above the horizon more or less etc etc. Same processing up to the point of stitching.

PI has some mosaic tools. I tried using them once and they are complicated to use and one little box not ticked and no cigar.

Thanks Roger. I like this little TEC. Yuri hasn't made many of them as I think they were a lot more work than he thought. He said they took as long to make as the TEC140.
