Description

It's not the most original idea in the world, but I thought that completing a high resolution shot of the Rosette in time to present to my wife and three daughters for this upcoming Valentine's Day would be something just a little different than the standard "flowers" for a gift. Problem is, the Rosette doesn't even come close to fitting into the field of view of my camera. As a result, I shot it as a four frame mosaic - 28 megapixels in size and exactly 100 hours of exposure.

Take the time to zoom into the 100% full resolution image. There's an amazing amount of detail there.
