Description

t= +10°C is not a typo, it happened to remain set like that after the previous warm-up session, so the background may be noisy. I couldn't find any good particular target for that evening, and I didn't dare to take on some dark, 12-14 mag galaxy for only one night. Although as I look at it now, NGC 6027 in the upper left has a magnitude of 11.7, and it still shows details. Anyway, I decided on this classic one.
This is perhaps my first photo where I can see that the stars are already distorted on the edge of the field of vision. Corrector is planned, but for that I first have have to feed the piggybank a little bit more
