I've always wanted to do this sort of widefield of the Milky Way. Sagittarius Star Cloud is at the bottom which was about 5 degrees above the horizon and the glow bottom left is from Marseille, couldn't entirely eliminate it.

Some great gems in there.
Is that a mosaic? If not it is a very wide lens.

Thanks. It's a Pentax 55mm f1.2 at f4 on my HEQ5 belt driven Carole, it's not a mosaic.
I love these wide fields from good skies. Well done and thanks for sharing!
