See the entire Milky Way in exquisite detail and then zoom in to explore dust lanes and nebulae. Instead of dots and circles you will see an actual photo of a star or a deep sky object.Smoothly and swiftly navigate this full color photograph of the entire night sky to a limiting magnitude of 14-15. Five years in development the AllSky CCD mosaic is comprised of about 20000 individual images originally imaged at a resolution of 12 arcseconds per pixel with a scientific grade custom built AP9E CCD camera.The AllSky image in Starry Night presents the ENTIRE sky as a full-color seamless mosaic at 5 resolution levels depending on your zoom setting. This consistent resolution color and depth of coverage eliminates the uncertainties of comparing images from many and varied sources. Zoom from the widest possible view of 180 degrees to 0.5 degree field of view.If you have the processing power set the AllSky image to be more precise and a better match between the photographic stars in the AllSky image and the Starry Night stars.
