Blimey!!! I need to fill in all the gaps up to the Veil first!!

Then I might go north a bit for the rest of the Veil and on to the North American area.

The beauty of an observatory, each panel is only an hours worth of data, so if it looks like there is a gap in the cloud I'm out there I also note the RA/DEC of each panel so I dont have to waste time searching for my start position, I'll even take a clouded image if its a new panel just to use for refrence for lining up to next time out.

I usualy use Photoshops auto photomerge, but my computer hangs up on it, so I am using MS ICE. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ice/
