Milky Way Core

Milky Way Core
This is the end result of starting End Of April Finished to12/7/2022. what started out as a look at the area I have been taking photos for years. There is a host of PIPs from all the parts I have taken over the last few years. To get this completed this is the third iteration getting the over lap correct so it finished first was 12% , and second was 23% but in the end I could see the panels walking away from each other as I shot so settled for 45%. So the true start was early in April getting this part correct so it finished. Added to this I went from an easy Rotation Error of 5 degrees to a very small 1.5 degree. Even last night at 11:53pm at flip the camera had to be rotated 1.8 degrees after flip to finish out the night.

I thought the best way to tell you Milky Way core is 53 shots per night X 22 panels = 1166 shot or x 10min exposure time.. = 11660 minutes of exposure to get the whole thing or divide by 60min gives you hours. = 194 hours or divide by 22 nights =8.81 hours a night shooting, not to get you confused...at all.

The result of two sequences and 22 panels (11 panels long)each panel a night shooting, The Tiff is 22653 x 8024 1.01 GB, Jpeg is 176Mb the shot here is under 25mb. The end was I thought my first sequence finished where I wanted to but I was way out by 6 more panels to get below the Eagle Nebula.

I thought Bonsai taught me patience but this has been a very long set of shots trying to get clear nights to get each panel between clouds and rain.

The march across the milky way as I took it stated with far right to left as the Milky Way rose in the sky:-

Fighting Dragons, Prawn , Cats Paw, Lobster, Dark horse ( bottom half only), Snake, Lagoon and Trifid, Horse Shoe, Swan and Eagle.

Enjoy the milky way like I have never seen before This will be entered in this years Astro fest.

Much remains hidden from the human eye.
Through your devoted astrophotography, you open a small insight into the infinite fascination of the universe to all interested people.

It would be a pity if “Moon Rise” would be devaluated because of “far too many” trees.
The photo wouldn't have the impact it has were it not for the completing accents that highlight the magic of the Milky Way.
Of course, one could choose a different crop. But that would, in a sense, lead to 'tunnel vision' that would severely limit the natural interplay of sky and earth visually.
Others may of course see it differently …

In any case, I wish you much success, but above all further joy in astrophotography,
in whose great results you thankfully let us participate.

The Tiff is 22653 x 8024 1.01 GB, Jpeg is 22653 x 8042 176Mb the shot here is under 25mb. this is by far the biggest photo I have ever made so big it ended up as a photoshop large document, hence the fact this is a smaller version on Ipernity. gives us a lot of food for thought what we just dont see. now with the James Webb we are "seeing" so much more we never knew.

I have set up a sequence from carina area

<Carina Nebula Wide Field.

down to fighting dragons for late feb next year almost as long but should not be as hard as not so many clouds or rain that time of year but plenty of heat. once again a lot of targets done in this area as well.
