I have a proposal to do a 4 x 3 panel mosaic of the Southern part of the constellation Orion.
Every panel will be made in RGB and I propose to do per channel 30 x 2 minutes.
What do you think of this project ?
how can I copy the telescopius image to the forum ?
I tried but didn't succeed.

As a solution, may I bring up the subject again of perhaps going back to native F5 ?
The Tak 0.73 reducer was designed 10 years ago with spot sizes and correction to suit CCD cameras, very much prior to these new multi mega pixel CMOS cameras and in retrospect was a poor idea in the first place to fit to the the telescope as I believe it is has pushed the reducer to its limit and beyond trying to correct a 60million pixel camera
I do understand that it was my idea when in stalling the pier to fit the reducer but feel it was an error on my part in the first place
- The camera and speed of scope will still only need a maximum of 300s subs[/*]
Personally (putting correction to one side) the slight decrease in FOV will make single shot framing of normal DSO's far easier without so much wasted space round the sides[/*]It will be a better all round FOV when galaxy season arrives, which would you believe the very start of is only just over 3 months away
[/*]Yes mosaics may need an extra panel but its still a huge FOV even at its native F5[/*]less vignetting due to the increase in native image circle[/*]
We hope this Autumn if Covid does not get the better of the travel situation again, to travel over for one last trip this year so the option fingers crossed is still open for you to go native on this scope
I have fingers and toes crossed TBH as I fervently believe it will be a massive benefit to P14

Steve,
Just to jog your memory of a telephone call on the set up about a year ago. We both had a preference for going with the native set up. At the time however you were convinced that users would prefer having the reducer fitted to make it faster at capturing data. The question of mosaics was never mentioned. At the time that was a valid commercial decision.
Despite the downsides that have become more and more apparent, it has given us really good opportunities to capture in one set of data amazingly wide shots. Just please, please ensure that the job Simeis 147 gets completed. It is only just accommodated with the reducer fitted. I must declare a personal interest in that one.
On the question of when, and you will not be held to it , can you give us a rough idea of the earliest you'd make a visit. That might assist us in deciding what we submit right now, trying to avoid putting in anything that might not get finished. I don't know though how we might go about that. We don't really want to end up with too many incomplete jobs that require starting from scratch., or, ending up compromising any preferred travel dates you may have in mind.
Cheers,
Ray
