Two Gigapixel Milky Way

[plantnerd (Luis)]

I have spent a while making this new 2000 megapixel image of the Milky Way including the Small Magellanic Cloud.

Composed of 366 36 Megapixel Images.
All images processed from RAW in Lightroom exported as Tiff then stitched in AutoPano Giga 4.2.

Thanks Luis. I had an A7r. Great camera. Did you use an automated panorama rig to take all these images? Administration of them all would be extremely difficult.

Fantastic effort Luis! If you wanted you could spend another few years collecting data over the same areas to increase signal
