Description

Hi all,

I am new here at Astrobin.com and just opened my account today although I've been a frequent visitor for a long time. I was just waiting until I had an image that I felt was good enough to post in this astro-forum before joining and now I'm finally I'm happy with one, so here it is.

The data for this image was acquired over 3 nights at our regular location 25 kilometers west of Ottawa, Ontario

Nikon D5500 (unmodified)

Nikon 85mm/f1.8 ... shot at 2.5, 3.2 and 3.5 over 3 nights

ISO 400 and 640
