From Cassiopeia to Cepheus, eight years and 300 hours of exposures
I started this imaging project back at 2012. During the years I have shot more frames for this active region of the sky. Now there are 26 panels and 22 high resolution sub-panels stitched together. Photo covers about 35 x 17 degrees of sky and the physical resolution is over 25.000 x 12.000 pixels. There are about 4,5 million individual stars visible in this image.
This is my second large mosaic image finalized in this month, a very large mosaic image of Cygnus can be seen here, https://astroanarchy.blogspot.com/2020/12/cygnus-project-grande-finale-for-now.html

Image is in mapped colors from a light from the ionized elements, hydrogen = green, sulfur = red and oxygen = blue. NOTE, there is an image of the Moon at the same scale in lower left corner.

Frames
There are 26 base panels with shorter focal length tools (200mm f2.8 Tokina and 200mm f1.8 Canon) There is also 22 sub-panels used, they are shot with my old 12" Meade and 11" Celestron Edge scopes.
