Description

My first astrophoto! Definetly not good as the front page photos, but my mom found it amazing, so...

All kidding aside, this photo was taken from my backyard, at 5AM, in Sao Jose do Rio Preto, Brazil. The main subject is the Scorpion constellation, but you can also see, though very faintly, a bit of the Milky Way.

ISO was set at 800 and the exposure time was 15 seconds.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of chroma noise from the camera on the image.
