An animated zoom in series to the Bubble Nebula



I have shot many targets with a several focal lengths and instruments.
Due to that, I'm able to publish some of my photos as an image set, with a different field of view and detail levels. The fractal nature of our universe stands out nicely by this way and it will make the orientation more easy.

Moon has an angular diameter of ~0,5 degrees, that's ~30 arc minutes.

The largest Fine Art print in Finland




About three weeks ago I posted about my astronomical photo as a public artwork.
This very large, 10x3m, photographic print on aluminium was produced by a Finnish company Dialab.
They made an inquiry from the Finnish Museum of Photography about this print. The museum confirmed, that this is the largest photographic fine art print in Finland. The photo is located in main lobby of The "Oulu Region Joint Authority for Education" in Haukipudas

Cirrus of Cygnus
The largest fine art photo in Finland

The photo is printed on aluminium and it has a glossy finishing. This is the largest fine art print in Finland. 
The size of the photographic prin is over 3 x 10 meters (= 10 x 33 feet) Even in that size, the image is very sharp, since the original image is in very high resolution due to mosaic technique used.
