Description

This picture was taken with a triple setup: a Fuji 250mm/F4 (@F4) lens on Fuji GFX50R, and two sets of WO RedCat51 on Nikon D800. The two D800 had offset FoVs, to form a 2-frame mosaic. The combined 2-frame mosaic overlaps with the FoV of the Fuji.  The three cameras took exposures simultaneously.  Because of this, although the combined exposure time is about 12.5 hr, each pixel actually receives only 8.3 hr of exposure.

Rev.B (final) contains more contrast and saturation boosts, and some other more subtle adjustments.  I hope you enjoy it.

Edit Nov 1, 2023:
I felt that my original processing emphasized red too much. So I rebalanced the color (stars and starless separately).  Rev.C is the newly balanced, mildly stretched version.  Rev.D (final) is the version with more contrast and saturation boosts.
