Description

A two-panel mosaic of a portion of the summer Milky Way. The total exposure for the top half was 13 minutes while the total exposure for the bottom half was 10.5 minutes for a total of 23.5 minutes. The lens was stopped down to f/4. Tracking was done in-camera using the camera's Astrotracer feature, with the camera mounted directly to a tripod. No darks, bias or flats. 

This is the first part of a planned high-resolution mosaic of that entire region.
