Description

Auriga is one of the 88 modern constellations; it was among the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy. Located north of the celestial equator, its name is the Latin word for “the charioteer”, associating it with various mythological beings, including Erichthonius and Myrtilus. Auriga is most prominent during winter evenings in the northern Hemisphere, along with the five other constellations that have stars in the Winter Hexagon asterism.

Image of the constellation of Auriga, Canon Xsi, 50mm lens at f3.5, ISO 800, 38 x180 Seconds. Again reprocessed, I think this is best can do with available data, pleased with final result.
