Description

Antares only rises to 23 degrees altitude max and the best imaging window is 3 hours per night in the beginning of june. And of course without moonlight. This year my only shot was a 3 hr window on june 7. This is a 2 panel mosaic made with the Esprit 100 f5.5 APO and Canon 6Da and Optolong L filter. (total 53x180 sec iso 16000 I plan to add more panels over the next few years. Processed with DeepSkyStacker (2 stacks) and Pixinsight (DBE, Histogram, Staralignment, Gradientmegemosaic, curves)



Knight Observatory, Tomar.
