Description

After slightly cropping the edges, this one ends up being 43.9 megapixels. I shot this at Joshua Tree National park, using the 294MM's native bin 1x1 for luminance and bin 2x2 for RGB. It would have been nice to double or triple the integration time, but alas, time is limited in the field. Here are the details:

L = 50 x 180s (bin 1x1) = 2.5 hours
R = 10 x 180s (bin 2x2) = 30 minutes
G = 10 x 180s (bin 2x2) = 30 minutes
B = 10 x 180s (bin 2x2) = 30 minutes
Total integration = 4 hours
