Lovely dark & dusty Mark, balanced with nice star colours, its an excellent image. The mosaic espcially is a treat, I'd encourage you to add even more panels if you're able to since there's a lot going on in this area.

Fantastic image(s). Great resolution in the nebula; you should image it again next year to see if it's changed!
