Description

Two-panel mosaic captured between may 10th and may 13th under the beautiful night sky at Athos Centro Astronómico, La Palma, Canaries, Spain. The upper half consists of 48 lights, the lower half of 44 lights, both seperately calibrated with 66 darks, 100 flats and 200 bias frames, stacked and preprocessed before merging and postprocessing them. The big difference in brightness between the dark dust structures and Antares gave me a good deal of challenge - this is the resulting compromise ...after a few days of tearing my hair:-)
