My target is the complete arch of the Milky Way and an interesting foreground. Orion, Taurus, Pleiades, Perseus, Auriga and Cassiopeia can be identified along with some individual stars. I find it more difficult to identify stars in a photographic image than in the night sky. Seven images were stitched in Elements. Other panoramic attempts with Elements were unsuccessful due to excessive distortion. I have started to use the Hugin program with better ability to correct distortion.
