Description

This is a 2 Panel Mosaic of the more prominent region of Monoceros. I have seen almost no images of this target at such a wide field of view and decided to give it a ton a integration. I think Monoceros is a very beautiful but sadly oftten overlooked constellation, due to being Orion's neighbor. 
This image took me 2 months to complete, in total I ended up with around 50hrs, marking this my biggest and probably to date most favourite project yet!
