Description

I acquired these astronomical data with my modified DSLR and 300mm telephoto lens installed on a simple equatorial mount. Regardless the heavy light pollution from the center of the Tokyo, I was actually supervised what I was observed, especially the moment that I realized that the star colors are so natural, where the orange stars are orange and white/blue stars are white/blue.
