Description

Second grand panorama of personal project to capture the area of the Markarian Chain. This is such a luminant part of the sky with so many galaxies and the goal is have a very wideview perspective captured with a telescope to gain more detail (vs a DSLR and fixed or variable lens).

Dates: 20 May 2020 , 27 May 2020 , 29 May 2020, 2 June 2020, 14 June 2020

Frames:

55x300" (gain: 120.00)

17x600" (gain: 120.00)

Integration: 7.41 hours

File size getting very large and adding more panels not necessarily creating a better albeit interesting image so will not expand the panorama.

The subs come from captures in June (most recent 14 June) and May 2020. All calibration, processing in Pixisight for the panels and then stitched together using Microsoft ICE and refinements in Photoshop.
