This is the sort of image that I have wanted to create since starting this game
The last two nights have been pefect conditions here in sunny Brockenhurst and they allowed me to grab plenty of time on the Trumpler 5/IC2169 regions with two Hyperstar III frames of around 3 hours for each frame. I already had the Cone nebula data to hand. Now, rather by pure luck than any sort of skill I somehow managed to bolt all this lot together without lines appearing all over the place. Don't ask me how, I haven't a clue. Anyway - the result is - a deep-sky panorama of the Cone nebula and Christmas Tree cluster, Trumpler 5, IC2169 and a ton of dark nebulosity - and all with a Milky Way background (where you can see it through all the gas and dust). Enjoy
