Description

This is by far my most ambitious project in astrophotography. Ironically, the acquisition was very easy - the full image contains just 3 hours of integration time, split in 9 panels, with a 25% overlap rate. The real challenge was to connect them all afterwards.

What allowed me to image such a wide field inthat little time was the incredible brightness of the Carina Nebula, which makes it a perfect target for this type of test. And even so, due to my poor match between the plan (drafted on Telescopius.com) and the real position of my OSC sensor, I still wasted around 30% of everything that was collected. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the final result - and I might apply the hubble palette to it in the future, just for fun.

Hope you like it! ;)
