Description

This was an absolutely unplanned picture: I was about to get to know my ASI a little better, when I realized, that my power concept was more than faulty: With so many devices (cooled cam, 2 mounts, 2 MGens) connected to the batteries, the voltage dropped and lights went out. But the night was too good to let go, so I went for the seven sisters, this time without guiding.

I did not expect too much out of this attempt and was very pleased to see how nicely this one turned out. According to the large number of exposures, it did not need any noise reduction.
