This was a June 22 competition object but I really struggled with processing so haven't entered it. But I have uploaded it as a benchmark so I can look back as my processing skills improve! After numerous attempts I was happy with the 'join' in the mosaic but not happy with the nuances of colour or the blown out M42 (and I think some further star reduction is warranted). Nevermind - onwards and upwards...
