Milky Way Panorama

This 28-tile mosaic of the Milky Way was taken over six nights at the 2004 Queensland Astrofest.

Each tile is a 30-minute exposure made up of six 5-minute sub-exposures, with the entire image totalling 14-hours.

Covering 75.5 x 18 degrees from Norma to Aquila, this Hydrogen-Alpha view is centered on the border of Sagittarius, Scorpius and Ophiuchus.
