Description

Taken with the D7100 and an ordinary tripod. The Tokina 12-24 was used wide open (f4) so the edges are quite ugly. While this picture will not win any beauty contest, I was suprised how much little gems are hidden inside. I see at least M31, M33, the double cluster, the North America nebula, the Soul nebula, the Wizard nebula and maybe the elephants trunk...

Best,

Jan
