Hello vikas,

My first goal was to make a 3x3 mosaic but it's such a beautiful part of the sky that I have decided to expand this one. With a whopping of 7x7 panels. 

If you use Telescopius then enter 7x7 panels . Put IC1396 in the field and use a overlap of 25% for the panels.

The panels are in landscape mode. (pier5)
Maybe than you can understand the numbering of the panels.

Best regards,

Mike

A close approximation of the 7x7 mosaic, where pane 25 is at the centre. Also included are 5x5 and 3x3 part mosaics.

Ok got it !! ....Wow!!... a 7x7 Mosaic!! .....that wud need some processing skills and patience....but even the 3x3 wud be a nice image

Here is the result of the IC1396 3x3 mosaic.

Thanks Mike. Very useful

This is a version of the finished mosaic, desperately in need of additional work admittedly. Included should be crops from the mosaic at a higher resolution to give a larger view of some of the objects it contains.

The vast majority of the 30 panes were only 1 hour exposures, so apart from the over saturation and bad colour representation, maybe you'll agree this project by Mike was a good use of the time. I would have liked to have had the top row (43-48) and the left columns (14, 21, 28, 35, 42 & 49) collected, to make it into a 6 x 7, but never mind. Always next year I guess.
