This weekend I am planning on doing what I had planned on doing Wednesday night; 15x15 panel 2 gigapixel mosaic of the Milky Way centre. After the fog rolled in a couple of nights ago I figured I'd see what I could get as a test. Both in image capture and processing.

What I have learned is that I'll have to most likely limit it to 60-90s exposures this late in the season, probably closer to 60s. Even with 60s exposures it's still a 4 hour integration with single shots on each panel.

Bigfoot is a composite of one of my first test shots (testing my PA) and my last (before the fog became far too thick).
