      Description

      A 76 hours total exposure time, 24 tiles mosaic of Orion taken in Chile in Rio Hurtado Valley during 11 nights, using a dual Canon 6D / EF 300 F4L setup. Final size is about 360 mega pixels.

      To avoid unsightly egrets on bright stars, the two lenses were diaphragmed from the front at F/5.
