Description

In Autumn 2012 I shot six hours for new H-alpha light for both objects, IC 1396 & Sharpless 129.

I combined this new data, shot for the mosaic, to all my older material from years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The final composition has a total exposure time of about 40h for all channels.

Data is shot with various optics, Canon EF 200mm f1.8, Tokina AT-X 300mm f2.8 and LX200 GPS 12" f5. QHY9 and QHY8 cameras are used with a Baader narrowband filter set, Ha, O-III and S-II.

Image spans about nine degrees horizontally. (Eighteen full Moons side by side)
