PIER-14 Perseus Molecluar Cloud with two bright nebulae

I dont mind the ambitious plan

Richard would this still be possible with the scope at native focal length, admittedly it might be a tight fit but less of a problem with the star shapes. If that's a consideration then maybe submit it just before the visit to Spain. Just a thought so please go ahead and do what you want.

There is ambitious, and there is insane! Quick check says it would be a 12-pane mosaic. Let's start in the middle and see how it goes.

Ray,

I have submitted this as a two-pane mosaic in LRGB - jobs 1341 and 1342.

I have upped the overlap to 40%. If we shift to native focal length it will still work as there will still be 20% overlap.

Hi Richard, 

Do you have psychic abilities? I was just about to reply to offer such a suggestion for the reason you give, together with a reply to your 'ambitious' plan.

Yes there is ambitious and insane, however, for those of us who choose to stick with this expensive, often frustrating and unrewarding hobby, it's a given we're a little bit insane already. So why not give some consideration to such a venture starting from this first mosaic.  Totally bonkers I reckon, so I'd be in.  

Also thanks for making all those submissions for us. 

Cheers,

Ray
