800MP Milky Way Stitch
September 15th, 2009
This is the Milky Way, as documented by a ton of shots out of a Nikon D3.
WIRED has an interesting article on two guys who put together a killer panorama of the Milky Way Galaxy. It’s called a home-brew hubble, guys. Haven’t you heard of it?
Working in the dark, dry highlands of Chile with a Nikon D3 digital camera (50 mm lens open at f5.6), Serge Brunier and Frédéric Tapissier patched together 1,200 photos of the night sky into the composite that you see above.
Check out the video:
