Description

I had a hard time with this one, the weather has been extremely bad so it took more than a month to accumulate ~20h of data for the picture.

My NAS died, so I don't even have the raw data anymore. I hope that it can be still recovered, but lets see 

The pic is photographed with Nikon 200mm f2 vr, and it's so sharp in the center of the picture that I had to pixel shift the stars in all directions so that they become bigger to be able to see them in the picture. Unfortunately it's quite impossible to get the tilt and back spacing perfect with 0,1mm spacers and due the looseness of the Nikon-adapters. Fortunately that can be helped with small pieces of tape ...so there is some astigmatism in the corners which can't be corrected all the way through with BlurX either, the stars in the center are extremely small already. Maybe I can find a way with processing, I have some ideas for that for the future.

Still...fun stuff, I hope you like it!
