Panorama mosaic, Cederblad 214, Sharpless 170 and supernova remnant CTB1
his morning I published the photo of supernova remnant CTB1 (Abell 85). Photos are overlapping, so I was able to build a mosaic image out of them. image spans about ten degrees of sky vertically, that's as large as twenty full Moons side by side.! (The CTB1 at lower center has a same angular diameter as our Moon.) Photo is taken with the Tokina AT-x 300mm f2.8 camera lens, Apogee Alta U16 astro camera and Astrodon narrowband filters. Info about my current setup here, https://astroanarchy.blogspot.com/2020/01/the-frankenstein-monster-my-current.html
