Massive 2.2 Gigapixel photo of the Milky Way captured by Polish photographe

[FfFfFfFF 58,128]

Polish astrophotographer Bartosz Wojczyński loves a challenge and he gave himself a big one while visiting the Tivoli Astro Farm in Namibia. In just one night, he went about capturing a 2.2-gigapixel photo of the Milky Way without using a specialized astrophotography camera. The result is a dazzling image that lets viewers drink in the details of our galaxy.

Wojczyński has shared the high-resolution version on his website and is opening up about what went into the creative process. He was inspired to undertake a challenge that would allow him to use high-performance equipment in perfect viewing conditions. In fact, the good conditions meant that he could rely on DSLR cameras. His setup included two Nikon D810A cameras and two Takahashi Epsilon 130D astrographs mounted on a Losmandy G11 astrophotography mount.

The photographer also uploaded a video in which he shared some of his favorite details - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcrVbbl3P8M&feature=emb_logo

When their traveling through space in the future, I feel like these pictures will be references of the ancient world that dreamt of exploring space. I honestly believe we are meant to leave earth and travel through space in about a thousand years. My estimate, I know many people believe we will destroy ourselves but Im optimistic.

My first instinct was also to zoom in into the pink area. It's just so pretty.
