Description

My windowsill season is coming to an end for this year. The milky way moves outside my field of view. Besides we're getting close to the summer solicte, hardly any darkness anymore.

So this will be my last nebula target until december. ;-)

Actually this feels so much like groundhog day. :-D

In the last 4 years I've been shooting this one over and over again. At least I'm making progress… ;-)

tech stuff: 14x 20 minutes [email protected] (Bobsilon veloce Achro); Atik 460, astrodon 3nm. shot from my windowsill in Berlin on 2 nights in may.
