vdB27 area in Taurus

I've never tried a mosaic before so I thought I'd try a two frame mosaic over some dusty regions in Taurus. This is the region of vdB27 and IC359. Once again, the background looks light but it is all dust!!! I need to work on it some more but I think this will do for now.

AMAZING!
Besides loving the detail, colors & widefield achieved... the actual detail in the dark dust lane is UNREAL! 8O

Very Nice Tom.

I like the processing with the dust areas - comes through real nice on my monitor. Mosaic looks real seamless too. SO where is the mosic join? Vertical or horizontal?
