Description
© Greg Gibbs. You may NOT use, replicate, manipulate, or modify this image without my permission. All Rights Reserved.I have a plan to produce a reasonably detailed all sky image. I have collected a few panels for the mosaic so far and I will hopefully finish this section of the Milky Way soon. I couldn't resist throwing what I have got so far into my panorama software. After my computer groaned away for a while it spat out this 1.2 Gig image.
A few quick adjustments and massive size reduction later, I give you my work in progress. There are some obvious colour issues there which I will need to try and tune out of the final image but pretty happy with the detail level so far. I suspect I am going to need a bigger computer to finish this project though.

Haha. Yeah I'm missing quite a lot really. Considering that it should be at least double this field of view once completed

Mmmm... Now that would be an interesting challenge to capture and stich together a full panorama of the night sky.
Looks great Greg! Theres a few visible seams in the stiching where things don't quite line up and a couple where the colours are a different shade.

No problem. But you know, now I think it may be to weak configuration for such big images as you plan to do. I was just trying to stack 33 frames of Orion in Median-mode in Darks and Lights and 2x-Drizzle, and while processing the final image DSS told me "Out of memory"

Absolutely stunning work again Greg. I considered a project like this myself, but forgot I don't currently have a camera
If you were ever able to make that into a full size, high res print about 5 foot wide without the black areas, I would buy it off you.
