Description

This is an 8-pane mosaic with initial dimensions 10675X7384px.

From the beginning I had multiple problems with the lens due to flexure but fortunately they were solved with the help of a good friend (Aggelos Kechagias- http://pegasusastro.com/).

Unfortunately there was no time to start over..so I am stuck with some problems with my stars.
