Same setup as per the Jellyfish's mosaic, completed as a stand-in object whilst the former climbed up into the sky.

Looks really nice Roberto, I sometimes do the same and sometimes the "while I am waiting" image turns out to be better than the one I was waiting for.
I hesitate to say as "I am one to talk", but on zooming in - is there a small degree of coma in the corner stars?
Carole
Hi Carole
Thanks; yes, there is some under (or over?) correction in the corners from the reducer/flattener. This is a large chip and usually those stars get compensated and rounded by meridian flips averaging the elongation. In this case, IC410 was always past the meridian when I was imaging so the effect is more obvious (stacked up consistently). I could agonise and try to get the correction 100% but I'd rather shoot and crop than spend my time down that rabbit hole! :lol:

I agree, I only just got my coma "almost" sorted out about nearly 10 years of imaging.
Carole
That's come out very well.
Mark
Thank you Mark!
Apologies Roberto I must have missed this earlier !
Not a bad filler :)
Robert
Cheers Robert!
Yeah; I missed this too - it dropped into my mail box today with half a dozen others.
Well done Roberto; really nice definition on the tadpoles and seamless joins on the mosaic. The stars look wonderful in colour; I guess that's the ASI2600 cutting in - very impressive.
