Cygnus Mosaic now 5 panels

[carastro]

I hadn't intend to increase the size of this Mosaic, but since my latest image overlapped it I thought I would see what it looked like, but I am not sure if I will do any further panels (we will see). 

Sadr region was around 7 hours.
Crescent region was 5 hours 20mins, and the rest was made up of the two smaller corners I have to fill in making 15hours 17 1/2 minutes.
Now added the Tulip region a further 9 1/2 hours.

Total time for all 5 panels = 24 hours and 47 1/2 mins.

That's spectacular! I love the amount of details in the nebulosity and the stars are coming through really nicely!

Thanks Kon

Amazing! Any idea what the total field of view is?

 

Edit: Got it on AB: 6.364 degrees!

Beautiful image.

Just started my astronomy journey with an Evostar 102 and found myself lost in the Gamma Cygni Nebula last night, breath-taking in observation but this mosaic is another level!

Thanks everyone.

Sorry Padriac, I don't do statistics any further than how many Moon widths things are if trying to use a telescope.  I generally use Imaging Toolbox  to work out if things will fit.  Great bit of software with the author a very modest member of this forum.

Are you sure that's not a borrowed Hubble image?! 😉😀

Brilliant. 👍

Wonderful image, IMHO any mosaic project from the UK is quite an undertaking, and you have done a great job with this one.

It must be tempting though to carry on and create a full rectangular FOV?

Lol, there are some flaws which if I get another couple of panels may get eradicated in the overlap.  Getting more tempted to do another couple of panels.

That's an absorbing image to look around, fab work.

Beautiful mosaic Carole.

If your not careful, you will turn this into a Gaia type full sky project!
