Core Rising

Took the opportunity to head out to a 140 year old church (old by Australian standards) in a bortle 2 area on this still calm night. Took a few slider runs with my Syrp gear as well as taking the time to produce a high resolution composite image of a long exposure foreground to reduce shot noise, then combined with a 2 panel tracked panorama of the Milky Way core consisting of 4 x 2 minute exposures for each panel. This was stacked for noise reduction and to pull out fine detail, then panorama created and image brought together in Affinity Photo.
