Description

Well, maybe title it's little tricky but it's only 80 MPix picture (9000x9000 pix) however one of the biggest I created and I saw in the web
So I used that catchy title ;)

Anyway - this photo it's composite of 120 panels (!) - around 90 for surface coverage and around 30 for outer "rim" with prominences.
Many hours of compiling and putting it together with fine "sewing" panels to avoid obvious quality difficulties.
I think effect is quite nice even that I met some differences in seeing between particular panels.

It was quite task - pixel of camera was 2,4 um and focal lenght was 2400mm - so scale is quite impressive -> 0,21''/pix. But effecitive scale of this photo is 0,32'/pix because it's reduced to 65% size of original (original is 13200x132000 pix)

Equipment:
Modded Bresser 152/1200 refractor + barlow Tele Vue x2 + ASI 178 MM-C
