Two plates of Spaghetti at a single sitting

[tomato]

When commenting on @Rodd's excellent first panel on his Spaghetti Nebula mosaic, I foolishly proposed to do a two panel mosaic of this object in a single night, just to see what could be captured with a 'fast' scope and a sensitive camera. 

This is 90 mins on each panel, using a RASA 8/QHY268c/IDAS NBX filter, I converted it to B&W to try and hide the noise and gradients present. Pixel peepers will have a field day as my custom spacer/RASA adapter is still awaiting the end of the lockdown.

It sure won't win any prizes but I'm astonished at what was captured in the time and under the prevailing conditions, i.e.  intermittent high cloud, the corrector plate dewing up on the second panel, and a 83% illuminated moon about 50 degrees away.

Thanks for looking.

You picked up a lot!   Keep going. If will only get better.  Resolution looks excellent

Amazing for a colour camera.  What sort of subs lengths are you using?

 The camera is in DSO photographic mode, I followed Goran’s example and used 3 minute subs.

Thanks.  I was comparing this to a panel in my own image of this region which has 3 x 20mins subs (in ha) at F2.8 but with a slightly smaller aperture.
