Small Magellanic Cloud NGC292

I had four night clear so I thought would try a 4 shot panorama of this cloud SGP showed me a nice square mosaic but in reality the end result was more like + sign than a square.
4 night 82 shot each night to make a panel out of each night, 4 panels added to PTGui to get the final panorama of the area. this is the end result the main center part only.

I would have been better taking the area with my Nikon 300mm lens as a single shot than try and make a mosaic again. I will try to do that as the SMC is sitting in the right place.

82 shot 7 1/2min each in as much clear night as I could get.

Leo It takes a lot of work getting the whole thing to work no such thing as a 5 min wounder. The biggest thing I face change on thing you change the whole and more gear more problems. I hope i am at the point i can sit back and relax a bit.

now I dont have to be home I can set it up all on auto pilot every thing is done for you. It does take a bit of planning though.
