Years ago I did use an 8-inch Schmidt to do a black and white Cynus mosaic
on hypered Tech Pan.  It took 40 separate shots at 40 minutes each.  I can
imagine the hell you would have tri-coloring 120 separate images into
something similar in color.  A retirement project perhaps? <G>
The mosaic I did is lurking on my web site at
http://www.robertreeves.com/cygmos.htm  The image is a snapshot of the
assembeled mosaic under glass, so it is not very high resolution and the
contrast is lousy.  But it gives you an idea of all the stuff up in the
Cygnus region.
