5235: from the Leo to Auriga, with the Moon low in the West sky

Those are great captures, especially 5235 Leo to Auriga, with the barely risen moon.  It must have been a lot of work to stitch everything together so seamlessly.

hi James, 

thanks. it actually took several hours to process these images. I know there are some user friendly software that help a lot, but I simply used the open source GIMP. I had to first get the same tonality/background color in each image, then I had to put all images together and this was a very painful process as I had to apply transformations as images get very distorted at the edges of the 'panorama'. Depending on the image it took 3h or more, one of these mosaics took 6h! next time i better remember to take a widefield lens with me :)
