Impressive Mosaic! I will give it a try since it's an image I would like to compose and print. Thanks for detailing which panels one needs to donwload!

Thank you Federico! Yes, it's just a super beautiful region that you see rather rarely with Barnard's Loop. I'm also thinking about having it printed at some point. Then maybe even just Ha, since it has in black and white and starless also something. Have fun with it and I look forward to your result!

I just see that Barnard's Loop South-East is no longer available. I guess it is because these images were taken almost at full moon and OIII was therefore quite bright compared to the other panels. But it should still come new, if one looks into the future observations :)
