ATCA Pano Narrabri

Here is my first real processed image from the ATCA/SSO trip with Mike last weekend.
This image is phenomenally huge, 34 images in total for something like 35,000 horizontal pixels.
Canon EOS 7D
Tokina 11mm-16mm @ 11mm
30 seconds exposure
ISO3200

This pano was taken oven 15 minutes of elapsed time, at around 3am Sunday morning after the moon had set. Unfortunately the moon was lockstep with the Milky Way, so the banding of stars that you can see rising is the North Arm of the Milky Way.

I have so many images to process that this is going to take a loooong time, not to mention the dozen or so time-lapses

Wow 34 images, that is awesome! Would make a very impressive poster! Nice work Andrew.

Thanks Jason, the best bit as far as Im concerned is that I can cut that image up into make half a dozen smaller cropped versions with very different look. :-D
