Another corker!. You're on a roll.
I don't know if you meant it but I thought I'd bring that to your attention from your other thread on Rho. You're not that far out!

Yes, the thought did pass my mind about a mosaic. I might make that my project for astrofest this year.
Having both pics side by side like that. You can definitely see the superiority of the Tamron over the Nifty 50.

Thanks everyone.
Wide field certainly does seem to suit the 550d.

Great colours and so much detail.
Very sharp.

No ICNR. Just a little smoothing using the Carboni Actions.
Oh, and darks and flats.
