Description

The field of view of the 16" is too small to take all this in at once, so it needed 6 overlapping panels to capture the whole of Orion's sword. The exposures for each panel ranged from 10s top 5 minutes and were combined using HDR integration in pixinsight, before the final mosaic was created also in pixinisght.
