This is my first attempt at a Milky Way panorama, using 6 frames for a very wide angle of the sky. Here, a fainter arm of the Milky Way arches from east to west over Ajo and Child's Mountain. The constellation Orion is in the center and the brightest star a little left of center is Sirius. I am looking forward to doing more of this with more interesting foregrounds.
A new one, the Spindle Galaxy, NGC 3115. This galaxy is located in the constellation Hydra. The Spindle Galaxy is several times bigger than the Milky Way and about 32 million light years from our solar system.
The Pinwheel Galaxy, M101. This is 80 one minute exposures. Located near the handle of the Big Dipper.
