Description

I decided I had to have a go at this object after seeing Brian Boyle do his three pane mosaic which is much more detailed than my meagre effort. But given that this represented only 80 minutes of subs in between clouds, I'm relatively happy. Was also plagued by dew - was too lazy to set up the dew heater and then lived to regret it - cost me about 100 mins of exposure.... D'Oh!
