Scorpius 4 panel mosaic.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Hi,

Clouds cleared away allowing me to complete my 4 panel mosaic of Scorpius.

Taken with the Canon 1100D and nifty 50 lens at f/4.5, ISO 1600 x 180sec subs x 2 per panel.

Each panel stacked in DSS, stitched with ICE and processed in PS 7.

It's a stunning constellation!:)

Cheers,

Justin.

Beautiful colours and details. Nailed it! :thumbsup:

That's awesome. Sagittarius next. Then I want Corona Australis (with the 8"). :D

Thanks Jo!:)



Thanks Adam!

Yep so much to see.



Thanks Marc!

Certainly a multitude of colours to balance.



Thanks Kevin!

You read my mind :P.
Looks like it may be clear tonight, so hopefully!

Cheers,

Justin.

Like everything about this Justin, top piece of work and great constellation to do a widey sky :thumbsup:
Actually very inspirational also, Ive gotta point some Glass to the Stars more often :rolleyes: ;)

Very pretty and lovely framing of the field too.

Nicely done as usual Justin. I was delving into Scorpius last night at considerably greater focal length and had to give up because of the clouds. Ah well.

Thanks Trevor!:thumbsup:

The part of this image I spent most time on was the stars, needed to reduce the clutter to bring out the main stars the make up the scorpion.



Thanks Paul!:thumbsup:



Thanks Mike!:thumbsup:



Thanks Bob!:thumbsup:

Yep, love to see some more images from your gear.



Thanks Cam!:thumbsup:

I planned this one out using guide 8, it gives the area covered at different F/L. This allowed me to work out the best camera orientation for the panels and final frame.



Thanks Steve!:thumbsup:

Look forward to your image, another faint planetary perhaps. :question: :)




Thanks Paul!:thumbsup:

I must say, when the skies are clear the seeing and transparency have been good.
Certainly helps with the fine detail.



Thanks Joshua!:thumbsup:



Thanks RB!:thumbsup:

Cheers,

Justin.

A stunner. I love these types of shots. You did this remarkably well. Your nicest image to date?

A 50mm is a nice lens for this type of imaging. I just received the 2nd highest rated lens on DXOmark and am itching to see how it performs with this type of shot.

Greg.

Thanks Greg!:)

That means a lot from someone with your experience in wide field mosaics.
The nifty fifty is a good lens, but I need to run it at f/ 4.5 for the best results.
Look forward to images from your new lens.

Cheers,

Justin.

[David Fitz-Henr]

Yes, really nice mosaic Justin; I agree with Greg, it must be one of your best yet! :thumbsup:
One small point though - Scorpius not Scorpio ;)

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Thanks David!:thumbsup:

Wondered when I was going to be pulled up on the Scorpio.:whistle::doh:

Cheers,

Justin.
