Description

A 15-panel mosaic of the Milky Way Core region and greater Rho Ophiuchi region captured at Cherry Springs State Park in northern PA on August 5, 2021.  Each panel consists of 3 x 90" exposures shot with a Nikon D750 and Rokinon 85mm lens at f/3.2 and ISO 1600.  The Rho Ophiuchi panel was shot with the same camera/lens combo back on May 13, 2021 and the exposure settings were 43 x 60" @ f/2.8.  This panel has a higher signal-to-noise ratio and was blended in to allow for more stretching of the faint nebulae/dust in this portion of the sky.  Cherry Springs is a Bortle 2 location and the conditions were quite good on both nights.

I hope you enjoy the image!  Feel free to find me on Instagram if you wish - @dm_astro
