Description

Last night I spent the last 30 minutes before dawn with my favourite region: M8 and M20! Due to ongoing Lockdown I need to image from my balcony, in the middle of my hometown. I was really surprised that these objects, which hang in the middle of the city light pollution, even showed up on my sensor. The result stunned me, this is just 30 minutes!!
