Description Β© Greg Gibbs. You may NOT use, replicate, manipulate, or modify this image without my permission. All Rights Reserved.

I have a plan to produce a reasonably detailed all sky image. I have collected a few panels for the mosaic so far and I will hopefully finish this section of the Milky Way soon. I couldn't resist throwing what I have got so far into my panorama software. After my computer groaned away for a while it spat out this 1.2 Gig image.
A few quick adjustments and massive size reduction later, I give you my work in progress. There are some obvious colour issues there which I will need to try and tune out of the final image but pretty happy with the detail level so far. I suspect I am going to need a bigger computer to finish this project though.

Thank you very much Yeah it would print absolutely massive once completed. Storage isn't an issue, I already have three external hard drives. It's more the processing power that I am lacking. Takes ages just to even load the image.

Have fun in the process

That is the best WIP I've ever seen. So, so, so beautiful.

BTW, have you ever put your work in Astronomy magazine? I'm dead certain they'd accept it in a heartbeat if you submitted it.
