Description

10 x L, 9 x R, 5 x R and 5 x B on 5, 6, 7 and 9 May 2016. The last LRGB of the season, there is no real darkness between dusk and dawn anymore for 2 months. There were lots of cirrus clouds, so I have to do this one again next winter and spring. The bright star is GP Uma, a variable star discovered in Hipparchos data, its period is 6.1523 days, and the magnitude variation is very small.

Thanks to Chris for his comment about the slightly purple background, I tried to fix that in the new revision, I hope you like it!
