Description

Galaxy season starts early for me. My goal is to image as much as the Virgo Galaxy Cluster as possible.
This 4-panel mosaic is my first milestone in the project. I image each panel for 2 consecutive nights for a total of about 7 hours each. After that, they're stacked and processed in Siril, then manually stretched, aligned, and slightly saturated in GIMP.

Total exposure: 3402x30s
LP: Bortle 5
