The dustiness of the winter Milky Way. Another project that reminds me how much patience I needed and how many hours inside the car, alone, stacking, waiting to have enough data that always feels like it’s never enough. I was thinking that time is all we need, yet it’s the thing we most lack.
My main goal here was getting the dust around Orion, but I wasn’t expecting this much with an hour of integration per panel for the RGB and many more for the hydrogen-alpha. I was also chasing the zodiacal light that appears in the left part of the sky and it was quite strong—I could even capture it with my phone.
