Thanks John. This is certainly a prime binocular target to take is the large scale vista. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks Clive. Appreciate the comment. There has certainly been some disappointing weather about. Automated imaging certainly assists in extracting the most from any clear skies around.

Bravo, really well done

Thank you Marco. Will be most interested to see your rendition when you get around collecting the final data sets and processing. It is a facinating part of the sky with such diverse objects. Thanks for check it out.

Cheers Greg.
The remote set up is located in Gippsland (SE Victoria). It known for its high rain fall, fertile land.
That said the location gets its share of good weather where I take advantage.

Mosaics offer the combination of resolution and wide field. Just can't get enough of them of late.

Well..? That's a fine image indeed Jase. I opened the largest version (made a cup of tea while it opened) and then resized it in my browser to fit it on the screen a little better so I didn't have to scroll around like playing air hockey but the res was there. The decision to keep it a basic RGB based image has worked a treat and produced a lovely natural sharp view of this well known but big piece of sky, it almost looks like a photograph only better

Hey Mike, indeed I just saw your repro. Looking good. As I mentioned, it helps to sit on an image for a while and head back to it. No problems on the feedback - constructive feedback always helps. Thats what is great about the IIS community here.
Yeah, I agree that working primarily on the RGB data alone has struck the right balance with this image. There are numerous features, many subtle, that I suspect would get washed away with a contrasty luminance or at least lost with colour tone variations. Anyway, thanks for checking it out again.

Thanks All!
