Description

another one from my journey to Namibia. Love to composition, but I don´t love the stars on that one. Took it with the small 61mm Refractor, which was my first telescope, and I brought it to Namibia, because it is small and light and if it would have been destroyed the loss would have been ok. However with a full frame cam, the corners are just awful. Tried to fix it as much as possible in post production but a bad star never gets a good star. But I really like the overal look and next year will maybe another chance to get better data :-)
Hope you enjoy it anyways!
