Description

Around 10 hours exposure on the nights of the 2nd and 3rd of October with a Vixen ED114 and a modded Canon 450d on top of a GPDX. Both nights were very windy and with the moon high in the sky. I had to crop a lot of the image in order to recover from a gradient.

I still have to process other 10 hours taken with a Canon 70-200 lens and a modded 1100d. Maybe later I will process and add to this image.

Hope you like

ps.: all exposures were unguided
