The Thumbnail version attached is a snippet taken from the top left corner.

To see the rest of it you'll have to click the link.

For the full sized-version click here (http://www.zodiaclight.com/images/MosaicMilkyWayScorpioToCarinaBIGPOS TERLabelled.jpg) <----- It's a whopper (2.9 MB), but I think it's worth a look.

4 frames. Sixty-six degrees of sky. This is an adhoc mix of exposures (some 4 mins at ISO800 and others 2mins at ISO1600). The left and right sides of the pic were shot in 2007. The middle (Norma) was shot this week. There's another 2 frames I'm processing now (M17,M16, Lagoon, etc..) and I'll add these to make a new Mega Widefield poster on the weekend probably (that's if they line up in a straight line that is [doh!]).

Canon 350D; 50mm EF II f1.8@f6.3; Meade LXD-75. No filters.

Hooley-Dooley Bill. Nice work. Such a large field. Impressive. Perhaps the frame brightness/contrast could be adjusted between ARA and Norma, but other than that stunning work mate. Well done.

A very fine effort indeed.
