Description

2-tile mosaic (resized ... thanks AB) covering the Pipe Nebula and most of "The Kiwi", plus a bit of Sagittarius showing Messier 8 and 20. And as a bonus, Saturn is the bright one bottom centre. 

Shot back in ... 2016?
Each tile is a stack of 10x 180" subs shot at 120mm, F4.5 and 640ISO.
Humidity was very high, and for the last few shots I was in thickening fog moving down from the hills ...

Nikon D810A + Sigma 120-300mm F2.8.
Skywatcher NEQ6.
No parallel guiding.
