Description

Wide field mosaic of the heart of Sagittarius in SHO with a Canon 135mm lens. This is a three panel mosaic processed with Pixinsight. The image shows many favorite targets from the summer skies.

My backyard has a very limited view of the sky with blockage both north by my house and south by my neighbors trees. I only get limited hours of visibility for many of these targets, but they are some of my favorites. I have shot many of them at longer focal lengths with my my APOs and SCT and the images are in my gallery. I really like this wide field image and all the beautiful nebula across the heart of the milky way. This was 9 hours per panel for a total of 18 hours of data.
