Hi all,
I call this little project "Wanderers".
Using a Canon 6D, Sigma 24-105mm Art, f4 & tripod, I captured an 84 degree diagonal view covering 5 constellations over 209 nights to show the movement of three planets.
Base image: 20 sec, f4, ISO 6400, @24mm
10 lights, 5 Bias, 5 darks, processed in Deep Sky Stacker
Each overlay image: 5 sec, f4, ISO 1000, @24mm
Masking of planets: Venus 12 pixels, Mars 10 pixels, Saturn 8 pixels
Processed in Photoshop.
Total nights: 209
Clear nights (including partial cloud): 92
Longest run of clear nights: 6
Longest run of overcast nights: 8
Number of full moons: 7

I hope you enjoy,
Rgs Tim.
