Taken with a recently modified Canon T6 camera- being my first attempt with a higher reach to infrared. This 12 panel mosaic contemplates the surroundings of the milky way center, the most active region in the entire sky. With many objects that I have attempted before, now reunited in this interesting collection of images, taken with the most affordable equipment one could have; a 50mm f/1.8 lens, and a DSLR. Guiding was turned off, it was causing me more trouble than help in this sort of "manual" capture, I didn't even use plate-solving for this project either.

Light pollution washes away this yellowish glow from the milky way that won't be shown unless if photographed from further places. Tungsten and LED lamps makes the information "blend" with the information of our artificial light, so it's quite impossible for cameras to distinguish what is actual information from our galaxy and what is not. Under high altitude places- even if surrounded by close cities, we get the chance to have less atmosphere to make those underised light rays not be as absorved, under a "shorter" path of the outer atmosphere and where we're stablished.

Under bortle 3.3 skies (that measure is quite old now, I am pretty sure plenty of newcomers made that count go higher), I see to not even need color calibration- most of my colors came by directly from APP stacking, if obviously corrected with darks, flats and bias properly. Noise, on the other hand, wasn't that hard to get rid of- with noise reduction techniques and the resulting compression needed to post on this plataform helped it to not be as visible. Plenty of data was already seen with the lens stepped down to f/3.2 (I didn't step it to f/4 as I did in my previous mosaic of the southern milky way, cause with a greater field of view in the end, the distortion isn't visible at all. Chromatic aberration fades away quickly when reducing color noise.)
