Milky Way Core Region, nebulosity edit
This is a little bit different of an edit than I normally do, one done to emphasize the nebulosity around the Milky Way (at the sacrifice of sharpness and increase in noise). Shot with my NIkon D600 and Rokinon 85mm f1.4 lens on an iOptron Skytracker, 6 panels stitched together, each panel is a stack of 8 shots, ISO 400, f2.5, and 2 of each exposure at 4 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, and 1 minute. Each panel was stacked with Deep Sky Stacker, initial edits done with PixInsight, then all the panels were stitched with PTGui and final edits were done with Photoshop and Lightroom. Shot from a Bortle 4/5 zone at Rockport Reservoir, Utah.
I think overall it'll look cleaner once I can collect more shots to reduce the noise, not bad though given that each frame is 20 minutes total integration from a fairly light polluted area.
