This raw astrophotography dataset was captured from our fast f/2 telescope under Bortle 2 skies. It totals almost 10 hours of exposure time. This master file is from a 2x2 mosaic, so you will get a total of FOUR files to combine. These files are of very high quality and are perfect for practice!
If you need help combining the four panels into one, we made a tutorial video you can watch!
