I hadn't intend to increase the size of this Mosaic, but since my latest image overlapped it I thought I would see what it looked like, but I think it is extremely unlikely I will fill in any further gaps.

Sadr region was around 7 hours.
Crescent region was 5 hours 20mins, and the rest was made up of the two smaller corners I have to fill in making 15hours 17 1/2 minutes.
Now added the Tulip region a further 9 1/2 hours.
Total time for all 5 panels = 24 hours and 47 1/2 mins.
