On the Telescope Live site there are plenty of One Click Observations of the same subject, or of subjects with some overlap. If you dig in it is very possible to pick up some sets that have over 50 hours of data in them! Can you imagine spending that many credits on one object via Advanced Request?
I have went through and found that sometimes you will need to know what the object is, and any alternate names for the object. For instance, the Heart and Soul. Two very well known objects right next to each other, and many of the One Clicks have quite a bit of overlap. You know what that means, mosaic time!

Now for the North American and Pelican sets:

The Sadr Nebula and Crescent Nebula area sets:

https://app.telescope.live/click-grab/all?telescope=38,60,48,62&target=Crescent
https://app.telescope.live/click-grab/all?telescope=38,60,48,62&target=Cygnus <-- not 100% positive there is overlap on this one, still worth a try
So as you can see, if you know alternate names or what is close by you can get some huge numbers to add to a stack. You will be amazed at what you can get and how well it combines in an image that is nearly free of noise!
Here is an example of just one of these objects, the Heart and Soul
Go ahead and spend the credits on those sets, because it is well worth it. See what you can come up with too. I'll give you a hint, look around the M8 area using the FSQ 106 scopes, and make sure you look at alternate names for stuff there. Also look around the Carina, Running Chicken, Statue of Liberty, and if you want to combine in data from a different scope, RCW 57 areas along with other objects in there. There is also a lot of Veil Nebula area data too.
