Description

Phew! This took a bit of effort to process compared to what I am used to! It took a long time especially to pre-process to a point where I could make the mosaic stitch.

It is only my second mosaic, and I went from 2 panels in my last image to 15 panels in this one! But I learned a lot from it. 

It is my first time using the Samyang 135 F2.0 lens. People are not kidding, this is really good fir astrophotography, if the large pixel scale is ok for the subject. 

I had wanted to do such an extreme wide field of this region, and for the total integration time of less than an hour per panel, on full moon nights, I am quite happy with the result. It is also my first time adding RGB stars to a narrowband image and I am happy with how it turned out. Though the pre-proccessing time doubled.

Due to the size, I had to upload a jpg, so there is a bit of compression artifacts.

Hope you enjoy!
