Description

I tried a mosaic before to get the nebula completely inside one image, but that seems to be "impossible", the conditions over several different nights are so different that I will need months of exposures. Hence I decided to use my 61 mm Williams Optics "guiding" scope. I overloaded it though with my filter wheel, and the connection to the main telescope is just fragile, hence I had to fight flexure badly. If you do not look too closely it is ok, but certainly not the best one can do. Next time a single filter screwed on the reducer. Or buy a sturdier connection :-).
