Description

This is a 7-panel mosaic spanning the summer Milky Way from Cygnus to Cepheus, shot through a 50mm f/1.8 lens stopped down to f/3 with a modded Canon 600D camera and Skyguider Pro tracker. The original mosaic did not include the two panels covering part of Cepheus, but I finally got around to combining all the data. I didn't do a great job of aligning the panels, so had to do a pretty heavy crop of just the central band. My 600D has a tilted sensor, so the stars are pretty horrible if you zoom in the slightest amount.
