Description

My second astro-photography. This time I was able to get a good alignment to Polaris, which is not that easy if you are a greenhorn. Unfortunately it took me quite a while and during that time the high-fog reappeared. The fog is quite visible, but I did not wanted to lose to much exposure time for this "trial"-night. Nevertheless I had the chance to get some images and I am suprised how nice the almost 50 year old Nikkor lens performs.

As a beginner, I am quite happy with this shot. But of course I always notice things to do better next time. I also found that my D7100 desperately needs a sensor cleaning. The image is a bit cropped to center M31.

Comments and advice is appreciated.
