Description

We finally got a week of clear skies in Switzerland, though astronomical night only lasts for 4 hours in summer... First attempt at narrowband imaging with Esprit 100, the seeing condition was great and we were able to get some relatively long exposures. The image is in SHO color mapping with true color (RGB) stars, Rev B is the starless version. Hope you like it!
