Cygnus Mosaic (with bits missing)

[Carole]

Following my Crescent nebula and surrounding nebulae and an earlier Sadr region image, i decided to put them together.  I knew there would be a slight miss match as they are not quite in the same position, but it came out better than I thought.  So looks like I will have to find some time to fill in the gaps. 

This is not published yet on Astrobin (it's in my staging gallery) as I wanted the Crescent Nebula image to settle down first.

That's a massive field; how many square degrees?  Looks great.

Thanks Roberto, I have no idea of the size as I never work in statistics.

That's fantastic!  A really good looking mosaic.  Cygnus looks so different in narrowband!

Thanks Mark, I have gathered some data towards one of the corners, but need a bit more.  Then I shall start working on the opposite corner.
