Milky Way Over 10 Years & 1000 Hours.

[Geoff Barnes]

Just found this on the web, very interesting. I find the level of detail revealed here renders the Milky Way completely unrecognizable.

Love the photo at the bottom of the article of his observatory!

A fascinating mosaic, really interesting to identify the different nebulae and appreciate their relative sizes. Also interesting to see the how tiny some of the well known favourites are, such as the Dumbell, Crescent and Bubble. Thanks for posting!

Looking at the wealth of info on his website, I cant help to wonder if 6 of those 12 years were putting together the expansive website. The mosaic is stunning, the info provided on his site matches it.

I would love to have this as a poster.

There's a tab labelled "buy selected items" the vast library of images are stunning in their endless detail and beauty.

He did very well it seems as it states he imaged the whole galaxy. Must have had a very wide angled lens then!
