Cygnus HaRGB - mosaic with Canon 550D + Polemaster

At the end of December 2016 i captured a bit of Ha data on this target with the Polemaster and a 135mm Olympus F/3.5 lens.
The image turned out quite well despite the low resolution, but i always felt something was missing - the colors...

My 550D on the Explorer 200 don't get nearly wide enough FOV to match, so finally i decoded to finally give it a go with my first attempt on a mosaic.
With the moon at 95% and the huge resolution difference (0.86" RGB and 5.76" Ha) i wasn't sure if i were just wasting my time, but it turned out better then expected. :)

The RGB data is a 4 pane mosaic with a total of 46x 120 sec exposures at ISO 800. Stacked in DSS, combined with MS ICE, and processed in PS.
Ha data is 35x 120 sec.
