IMO the 'heart' looks more like a chode with huge balls

This is my most ambitious astrophotography project yet, coming in at over 110 hours 18 minutes of total exposure time (albeit across 12 panels), beating out my previous record of 101 hours on the Elephant Trunk Nebula

The 12 panel mosaic ended up being 518 megapixels in size after cropping, and was an absolute bitch to process. probably never gonna do a mosaic this big again unless I have some quantum supercomputer. I don't have any way to reliably host this on my flickr page, so the image you're seeing is a 2X downsample.

Captured over 35 nights from October 2022 through March 2023, from my Bortle 8 apartment balcony

could only do 4 hours max per night thanks to my wonderful horizons from the balcony overhang
