Description

In winter, the nights are so long that I can't photograph the same object from my garden all night long. So I usually split up the nights. that's how this picture was taken. I photographed this galaxy cluster in the constellation Leo over a total of 3 very cold winter nights around the new moon. We had temperatures around -8 degrees celsius and a wonderfully clear sky.
I believe I need to invest in some more aperture for more details in such objects in the future.
Anyway, I hope you like the image.
