Opposite The Large Magellanic Cloud

This was my first trial with Nina to do a panorama. In the program it has the capability to plate solve the camera position and then change the view to match the camera angle. I did this with 6 panels but decided to add three more wider but the very big thing I did not plate solve the added. So this is only three wide by two deep as the extra panels where way off line. in the shot below its the area at the top of the shot in the PiP

I have decided to start again and do it properly and correctly. while this was only a nights worth of shots per panel for detail it would be far better 2 nights.

I am certainly not in the outback but I do know what you mean it is certainly black out there.
