      Description

      I added two more panels to what I captured last year (https://www.astrobin.com/pc4jnl/B/), making it a 6 panel mosaic in the vicinity of the Milky Way core. The new panels cover the giant Sh2-27 region and part of the Great Rift and were taken under Bortle 4-5ish skies. The data were taken with a modified Canon T2i and a Canon 50mm STM lens at f4. The  exposure time for each panel is variable between ~ 1 hr and ~ 1 hr 20 mins for the old data and 1h 45 min to 2h for the new panels. I made two versions. The first version shows less prominent stars which reveals the nebulosity better. The second version has sharper and brighter stars. I think I personally like version 2 better. Enjoy!
