Description

Not the right season for this, but one should not waste a Bottle-2-sky-astrophotography-trip, right?

A mosaic of 2 panes, 1 hour exposure each. I'm very surprised by how deep it came out, and the power of the F3 reducer. The air was very humid, so the halo around brighter stars are quite obvious.
