Milkyway from Astrofest

Here's my main pic from this astrofest. Did 4 panels of the milkyway at the zenith across 4 nights with a Pentax 150mm lens and a QHY8 guided with a lodestar on a G11. Panels are ~10x600s each, some more, some less depending on the conditions on the night. Also added a pic of the rig.

Couple of different higher res versions:

[4428x1824 - 11.3MB ]

[1920X791 HD 2.2MB]

The bright star to the right is Saturn. The field is a slice of the central part East/West. North is up.

Registered in Prometheus, stacked and calibrated in CCD Stack and colour balanced in Goodlook. Registar used to do the mosaic scaffold then blended panels in PS.

Enjoy the view.
