Milky Way from Sagittarius to Scutum (mosaic)
6-panel mosaic (advanced requests with CHI-5) from the Milky Way region, from Sagittarius to Scutum.
At the bottom you can easily recognize the Lagoon (M8) and Trifid Nebula (M20). On top you can see the Omega (M17) and Eagle Nebula (M16)
2 subs of 300s with RGB for each panel
(10% overlap)
The combined fits-file in AstroPixelProcessor was more than 1 Gb...
The post-processed tif-file 430 Mb. This jpg-file was compressed to "only" 5% (& still 11 Mb)
My PC had to work hard :)
