Description

Taken over four nights and seven days(clouds, you know) this was one of the more challenging targets for me. My light dome to the north only allows me to image to 40 degrees before the sub is washed out, giving me only about forty subs per night. I'm happy with the outcome. Navi reminds me of the star of Bethlehem! So beautiful.
