Mosaic of the above two tiles of 5 x 7 minute exposures each on September12, 2007 at 800 ISO in Puimichel in the south of France,
combined with a tile of 7 x 5 minutes @800 ISO made in Beilen on October 13, 2007. Though exposure time is the same, the images from
France have a lot less noise, even though the temperature was much higer then! I really like the result for I didn't think it would work this well.
