Description

I spent a good couple months working on this four panel mosaic of the Flaming Star and Tadpoles Nebulae.  What a cool piece of sky.  I shot the nebulae with the Optolong L-Enhance and the stars with the Optolong L-Pro.  Unfortunately the stars mosaic didn't quite line up with the nebula mosaic and so I had to crop out more of the Tadpoles than I would have liked.  Maybe I'll fill in the missing stars down the road.
