Description

Thor's helmet is truly a faint nebula. A beauty, but a faint beauty. Especially in light polluted areas like our place. Especially with a nearly full moon at its culmination at 10 pm like we had. Especially with too short exposure times like we consequently did. Even so, it was a test run and i was suprised to see anything to be totally honest. It is a long way to go, but we like it anyway ...

We will give it another try next year in better conditions and with longer exposure time. Comments and critic is very welcome, of course!
