This panoramic view of Cassiopeia is a mosaic of 4 panels and a lot of luck.
It was squeezed in between moonset and the arrival of some thin clouds. I did
manage to catch an airplane trail in one frame so I didn't get away completely
free, but it was still a lucky run
to be able to squeeze in the frames for a complete mosaic.

single-frame image from 2006.
