This is the end result of starting End Of April Finished to 12/7/2022. what started out as a look at the area I have been taking photos of for years. To get this completed this is the third iteration getting the over lap correct so it finished first was 12% , and second was 23% but in the end I could see the panels walking away from each other as I shot, so settled for 45%. So the true start was early in April getting this part to get correct so it finished. Added to this I went from an easy Rotation Error of 5 degrees to a very small 1.5 degree. Even last night at 11:53pm at flip the camera had to be rotated 1.8 degrees after flip to finish out the night.
I thought the best way to tell you Milky Way core is 53 shots per night X 22 panels = 1166 shot or x 10min exposure time.. = 11660 minutes of exposure to get the whole thing or divide by 60min gives you hours. = 194 hours. not to get you confused...at all.
The result of two sequences and 22 panels (11 panels long)each panel a night shooting, The Tiff is 22653 x 8024 1.01 GB, Jpeg is 176Mb the shot here is under 25mb. The end was I thought my first sequence finished where I wanted to but I was way out by 6 more panels to get below the Eagle Nebula.
I thought Bonsai taught me patience but this has been a very long set of shots trying to get clear nights to get each panel between clouds and rain.

Fighting Dragons, Prawn , Cats Paw, Lobster, Dark horse ( bottom half only), Snake, Lagoon and Trifid, Horse Shoe, Swan and Eagle.

The Rosette Nebula is a cloud of dust containing enough gas and dust to make about 10,000 stars like our Sun. In the centre of the nebula is a cluster of hot, bright young stars. These are warming up the surrounding gas and dust, making it appear bluer. The small, bright white regions are cocoons of dust in which huge stars are currently being born. These “protostars”, each one of which will probably become a star up to ten times more massive than the Sun, are heating up the surrounding gas and dust and making it clow brighter. The smaller, redder dots on the left side and near the centre of the image also contain protostars, but these are smaller, and will go on to form stars much like our Sun. Just as the centre of the nebula contains bright young stars, in a few tens or hundreds of millions of years these stars will have died, but the protostars will have evolved into fully-fledged stars in their own right. In this way, the star formation will move outwards through the nebula.

In this image taken on the early morning of Dec. 3, 2021, at Grand Mesa Observatory, Comet C/2021 A1 (Leonard) is seen moving past Globular Cluster M3 in our night sky when a meteor streaked across this scene, lighting up the image and creating one of the most spectacular shots we have had the privilege of working with. It was captured and processed by Terry Hancock and Tom Masterson using a QHY367 Pro C one shot color CMOS and a Takahashi E180 Astrograph, GMO’s System 4a telescope grandmesaobservatory.com/equipment
After processing this image, I looked up what the color of the meteor means for its makeup and found that yellow/orange meteors most likely are made up of sulfur and iron. The strands of vapor moving off the meteor tail are so mesmerizing. What a treat it was to capture this image! Comet C/2021 A1 (Leonard) will continue to brighten in our night sky this month but will become difficult to image or observe as it approaches the sun in our sky. It flips around and becomes an evening comet later this month, which will hopefully make it easier for more people to observe. Fingers crossed it brightens past expectations. Currently it’s a binocular-observable comet, but it may become naked eye visible in the next couple nights if it’s not already.

NGC 4565 is an edge on spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices. First recorded by William Herschel in 1785, it is sometimes known as the Needle Galaxy because of its thin shape Also. because of the shape and where it is located some refer to it as Berenice's Hair Clip. It is approximately 40 million light years from earth and like our own Milky Way galaxy it has a diameter of about 100 thousand light years.
If you look closely, there are actually many other galaxies in this shot. Just to name a few, NGC 4562 is in the upper right corner and IC 3543 and IC 3546 are in the upper left. All told, there are more than two dozen galaxies in this area.

A narrowband (HOO Palette) image of an interesting section in the Vela Supernova Remnant (also known as Vela XYZ; Gum 16; SNR G263.9-03.3; 1E 0840.0-4430; RE J083854-430902).
The Vela Supernova Remnant is in the Southern constellation Vela. Its source (a Type II Supernova) exploded approximately 11,000–12,300 years ago, at a distance of about 800 light-years away. The association of the Vela Supernova Remnant with the Vela Pulsar, is direct observational evidence of Supernovae form Neutron stars. The Vela Supernova Remnant includes NGC 2736, and it also overlaps with the Puppis Supernova Remnant. Both the Puppis and Vela Remnants are among the largest and brightest features in the X-ray sky.
Elements are made at different stages in a star's life-cycle, and spread through the Universe in Supernova explosions. “The Nitrogen in our DNA, the Calcium in our teeth, the Iron in our blood, the Carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos.

NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11, is an H II region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the direction of the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575. The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.

Here we have a look at NGC 4565 a giant spiral galaxy that is more luminous than M31 yet missed was missed by Messier in his catalog.
I was pleased to see what I would consider a super example of a central bulge, probably one of the best I have worked on in this edge on view. c40mly away and 100kly wide. I was also pleased with the clear blue colour in the outer arms indicating younger stars.
Hope you enjoy.

This is our closest galatic neighbor, M31, more commonly known as the Andromeda Galaxy. It is currently believed to be the largest galaxy in the galaxy group of 45-50 galaxies that includes our own galaxy, the Milkyway. It may be the closest, but it is 2.5 million light years away. It is estimated to contain about 1 trillion stars - more than twice the number of stars as our Milkyway. It is visible as a faint smudge in the evening sky from locations with no or minimal light polution.
This image is an integration of about 10 hours of images taken over the fall of 2015 with my Williams Optics 81mm refractor telescope and a modified Canon 550D camera. The image was processed in Pixinsight.
This is a bit of an odd ball as it does not follow anthing like I have done before. I found this Dark looking structure on Stellarium but it was not named so could not select it by writing the name. I was able to use the cool feature in Nina Select it in Stellarium and it brings it into Nina as a target. The star is HIP 54413 at least I knew that part from Stellarium This is two nights worth of shots and about 6 goes at trying to edit this which is so different to how I have done all the others.
I think this is pushing the limits of the ED 80 with all this very light dusty part of the sky. The mount performed flawlessly so really happy with the two upgrades.

I recently re-processed my Andromeda data set in pixinsight
The great Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor at 2.5million light years away. Like the Milky Way, Andromeda is a Spiral Galaxy. The galaxy is actually visible to the naked eye but looks like a small fuzzy patch in the sky. In the next 4-5 billion years Andromeda and the Milky Way are set to collide and will form a large elliptical galaxy.

The Milky Way and solitary trees are a perfect combination. When I saw this beautiful Coast Live Oak (Quercus Agrifolia) in a lofty spot, high above the Pacific coast near Big Sur, I immediately checked the Milky Way's alignment and was pleased to find that this majestic tree aligns perfectly with the dark horse riding above it. Fortunately, the field of view was clear enough to allow me to shoot it with a 70mm focal length, which is great for highlighting the size of the galaxy over an earthly foreground.

This is the Flaming Star Nebula (IC405) and the Tadpole Nebula (IC410). The Flaming Star Nebula is the coma-shaped nebula on the top, the Tadpole Nebula is the large, circular nebula near the bottom. From Wikipedia, IC405 is an emission and reflection nebula in the constellation Auriga, surrounding the bluish star AE Aurigae. It shines at magnitude +6.0. IC410 is a faint and dusty emission nebula of more than 100 light-years across approximately 12,000 light-years away from Earth in the northern constellation of Auriga. NGC 1893, an open cluster, is embedded inside IC410. High clouds filled the imaging area causing the fuzzy display.
