Milkyway Ha 100mm

I shot this one from home. There's a big version here. 7 panels of approx 10x5min each with Baader 7nm and SMC Pentax-M 100mm.

First time I used PI star generator after reading Bert's very helpful post about keeping large mosaics rectilinear and also big thanks to RobF for a few tips and pointers on PI tutorials. PI is certainly hard to get around for a new comer (fromk CCD Stack) as it is a process based with a very different flow, but once you get around it it's pretty cool. Something new.

I didn't stop the 100mm lens enough again but it shows potential and I think I'll nail it next session.

Last night I went to Crago. Just got back now. And this time I did from Eta Carina to M16 in Ha non stop with a 50mm this time, which I stopped down correctly and it looks pretty cool. Will post later.

The wind started howling at 4:00am with some gusts strong enough to shift my G11 tripod but I was done by then. I had it wrapped in rags and it must have acted as a sail and shifted the legs off the pads.
