Description

Shot from my backyard in Pasadena, CA.

This was my first try at a 2 panel mosaic.  I was really concerned about the seams, but using the PI tools for mosaic combination it turned out to be not an issue at all. This was shot at F5 with my William Optics FLT 132 @ 667mm focal length.

Each panel had about 3.5 hours on each filter and it was shot over the course of 3 nights.

I decided to go with Ha monochrome stars vs. RGB stars.  Mostly because I like the contrast of the white stars with the colourful Hubble palette.
