Description

This is a wide-field mosaic of the central region of our wonderful Galaxy, spanning from the constellation of Sagittarius to Scutum, with a glimpse of Scorpio.

Info about the mosaic:
- 14 panels
- 2h of integration each panel (300s*24, 100 ISO, F3.5)
- original frames have been 0.5X downsampled (final resolution of 30 arsec/px)
- each panel has been projected in Stereographic coordinates around the center of the mosaic
- final mosaic has been manually adjusted on a galactic projection of the Milky Way by GAIA

This is just the first section of a bigger project I am working on from 5 years. In the next weeks I hope to upload some new sections until covering the whole galactic plane from Sagittarius to Canis Major. 

Hope you will enjoy, clear sky to everyone!
