Lovely work Martin. I've got to pan around this on my small work monitor but I suspect that when I look at it at home tonight on a larger screen it'll have even more impact!

[DirkSteele]

Wow!

[Dave Moulton]

Now there is wide and then there is ultrawide and now we have ultra mega wide

Fantastic well done Martin

[Scott]

this is brilliant but where do you go from here?

[Shibby]

What an achievement! Great job stitching it together too. It's great to see these grand scale structures and the context it puts our favourite nebulae in to.

You know you want to finish off that slither down the left hand side...

Well done Martin. It's an image to come back to frequently and peruse. I will be using it to investigate more " Bits " for myself.

The processing matches in all panels and looks super smooth.

An image to be proud of,

Dave.

Excellent work, it makes my veil mosaic look tiny.

Sweet holy mother of god.... 76 hours ... in the current weather... and 76 separate shots to frame and stitch.......

I salute you! What a wonderful image....

I'd be investigating getting it printed, would look great on the wall as a 6ft by 6ft canvas......

[Hawklord]

Simply awesome.

WIdefield images like this are the most beautiful of all astrophotos and are the most likely to contain surprizes, new structures, links between objects...

You have given us a treasure here, Martin.

Bravo.
