Description

I try this region every year and I think I've finally come close to equaling by best effort which was a 4 panel mosaic shot remotely with an FSQ 106 (Robo Scope Australia I think) in 2007. This was a single frame shot with the Askar 200 mm f4 and ASI 6200 MM for Luminance and the Rkinon 135 mm f2 and ASI 2600 MC for color data. Twelve 300 s exposures with each.

Even in North Carolina this is low in the sky so I was very pleased how this came out!

Thanks for looking.

John
