Data was collected on the clear nights from late January - March 2023 regardless of the moon cycle. Locations: My backyard (Bortle -7) and Cheddar Ranch Observatory (Bortle-3).

 

The stars aren't perfect where the panels overlap because my backspacing wasn't exact with this setup. That said, I still enjoyed doing a deep, well-exposed mosaic of this beautiful patch of sky.
