Hello All
The last few clear nights allowed me to finish this project before the arrival of Storm Isha. This is a 2x2 mosaic of "The Spaghetti Nebula" which lies between Taurus and Auriga. It's a huge object and the panorama below spans 5 full Moons across by 4 down...

Incredible!
Glad you got (and were able to use) some clear nights at last. That's a fascinating object. :)
Well done Roberto. As you say it is huge and also very faint. I managed to get it a few years ago with my Samyang lens.
But 62 hours, mamma mia!!!!
This will go in February presentation as l already sent January to Raf.
