Description

I have always wanted to make a deep and high resolution map of the MilkyWay.    This being my first real attempt is not a bad first try,  but I can see I have a long way to go.  Two things made this difficult: one, using a narrowband filter greatly complicated the color balance and two, limiting my self to a 50mm focal length.  It turns out the Optilong L-Enhance is really only good for about half the fov I was using.  Because of these limitations stitching was really dificult requiring many hours and several false starts.
