Hi,

Here's an image I've dreamt of doing for quite a while, but it seemed to hard until using Microsoft ICE to stitch the images together.

I used the Canon 1100D ,18 to 75 zoom at 18mm f/4, ISO 3200, single 30 sec subs.

Now I know it works I can do some longer exposures, but 30 sec works well for showing the constellations.

Cheers,

Justin.

Another good one, Justin

Thanks Laurie!

Hey, that's a nice image Justin, especially for single 30 sec subs! Orion, Crux / pointers & Eta Carina all stand out well.

Enjoyed making this image, so much less frustration using ICE to stitch the images.

Cheers,

Justin.

Got goose pimples looking at that. The wonder of the universe never cease to thrill

Interesting technique and works well for a wider field with better res this way, multiple stacked esposures would be even more interesting, but a bit more work as u know.
