By @pabsgill
@pabsgill Finnish astrophotographer, JP Metsavainio, took on the daunting task of creating a mosaic of the #MilkyWay back in 2009. It took him twelve years to get the whole picture which is around 100,000 pixels wide and has 234 individual mosaic panels stitched together.

@pabsgill "The reason for a long time period is naturally the size of the mosaic and the fact that the image is very deep. Another reason is that I have shot most of the mosaic frames as individual compositions and published them as independent artworks.," Metsavainio wrote on his blog.
