Boothee,
It looks pretty good to me. Good image processing to show a good range of light and dark features. Also there is good detail and I cannot see the mosaic joins at this scale. Well done.

Boothee,
Looks good to me too.
In fact it's a fantastic image as it was taken with a 4.5" reflector.
Hope to see more images from you.

Dear Friends,
Thank you very much for your comments . . . .
Can someone tell me that Tracking Mount or Guided Scope are must have equiptments for Deep Sky imaging? Can do with Fork Mount without mortor drive ?
Awaiting kind replies from you all . . . .

boothee,
you have done well with the mosaic attempt!
as to your questions on DSO imaging,
you need to have a motorised fork mount otherwise you cannot track the stars.
You could also employ a german equatorial mount that has motors well. Even with DSLR DSO imaging with 5 minutes sub exposures, you will need a trackable platform so that you could go deep enough. As to your guidescope needs, it depends on whether you are using an off-axis guider through the same imaging scope, which in that case, you do not need a guidescope. Otherwise if you are using the scope strictly for imaging, you will need the guidescope to ensure stars are pinpoint and minimize tracking errors of the mount.
