Stock Photo - A mosaic of the Milky Way around the centre of the Galaxy in Sagittarius and Scorpius. The view of the Milky Way extends from Scutum at left to Norma at right. Sagittarius is below centre; Scorpius is above centre. At top is bright reddish Mars just above Antares, while white Saturn appears left of yellow Antares. Corona Borealis is at bottom of the frame. The Milky Way is dotted with numerous bright nebulas and star clusters, many Messier objects. . . This is a mosaic of two panels, each a stack of 4 x 3-minute exposures with the 35mm lens at f/2. 8 and the filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600, tracking on the AP 400 mount. Each panel also has an image shot through the Kenko Softon A filter, and layered in using Lighten blend mode to add the star glows. . . I shot this April 12, 2016 from Tibuc Cottage, Australia. Stacking and stitching in Photoshop and Adobe Camera Raw. The Milky Way was nearly overhead when I shot this.
