Description

A few years back I was pretty 'over saturated' with astrophotography. I still had the remote gear so had to picture something for later times. At the end I did not even look for bigger targets but just something. Here is the star Antares. Obviously there is a lot around the star, but I just wanted to target the star. I stacked the frames and noticed the dust clouds for my surprice. So this picture actually ended up something else than 'just a star'.
