Astrofest 2019 - Sagittarius Mosaic

[multiweb]

My fav area of the sky, especially the top right corner. :)

4 panels of ~2h each. Same rig. FSQ106N/QHY8, G11/lodestar/PHD, captured in nebulosity.

Had to take this one over a number of nights including topping up the panels on the last day for me which was Friday because Wednesday and Thursday decided to be cloudy.

Wow Marc - that is a stunning pano, the "huge one" was quite breathtaking as I scrolled around it on my diminutive 2560x1440 display - I need to get a bigger one!:)

The stars look gorgeous edge-to-edge, must have been a heck of a job processing this staggeringly large pano - top stuff.:thumbsup:

Cheers

Lovely mate. I don't know that I've ever noticed all those lovely dark tendrils around 6559 as much as in this image. Well done.

PS - I'd hit it with a bit of SCNR green in PI as usual :)

Nicely framed Marc, the Big One is great to look around :)

Fabulous image Marc - oh so smooth and very, very detailed. :thumbsup:

Thanks Dennis. :thumbsup: Actually it was quite easy to process. I just colour balanced it in Goodlook and assembled the mosaic with registar and blended in PS.


Thanks Troy. :thumbsup: Is SCNR the PI version of HLVG? :P


Thanks Colin. :thumbsup:


Thanks a lot Pete. :thumbsup:

A most impressive, faultless mosaic Marc. Subtle colour too. Well done.

Thanks Mike. :thumbsup: You'd get it in one fov. Now is a good time to do it as it transits early in the night.


Thanks a lot Ross. Catch up soon. :thumbsup:


Thanks Rob. :thumbsup: Had fun doing it and processing. Good catching up with you too.



Thanks Martin. :thumbsup: I did that 4 panel field 12 years ago with a small 5" newt (https://wrt1yg.dm.files.1drv.com/y4mJFarq-NSVAlULjKOUpknpI7eiHROImav__3ID9faY jX1Svt9ansaXgDVAx3QNJjE_7V1OOiuATlZ rj5px3ClMpeFTUJLyghLUo5pBKYSLr-cK90fBkB1MgUr5JhIVlvVCSAeIHhXQg8_rD c6K_g4d6ZR9BUlq9709YKQfuCUfkUO9aglr 2g1rNZezlap_jtjuecgDyQXpCvCSBdH60mg Tg/SAG_lf_dp.jpg?psid=1) and had a chance to do it with the FSQ. Lot easier to put it together.
