The Man On the Vespa. This is the name I gave its not an official name as I could not find any official name. The riding position is so very distinctive to some one riding a Harley or a Big Race Bike. Any one who has been to Italy and seen them you cant mistake the style of riding.



As I am struggling to take a 35 shot panorama of the LMC area and buy enough night clear to do this in good time. I asked Carlos Taylor if he could take the shots for me, as his scope 10" afforded a bigger view than mine.

My shot before any way to rotate... Back in Nov 2024 But I have reprocessed it with what I know now and Learning.



So this image is all Carlos Taylor apart from the stacking and editing that is all me. This was taken over 15 nights just a few shots each night. They slowly added up to close to 100 shot Ha S O and 30 RGB stars, this was taken pre his main target so it did not interfere with his plans either. A big thank you to Carlos for this and to me a bigger learning curve to get the info and create the final result. Info is from one of his photos as I know this is what he uses, I also use Pixinsight and Photoshop so it is current.
