Description

This was part of a two panel mosaic but has been cropped as the other area ended detracting if anything. Stated out as a trial run from my backyard in suburbia without any LP filter to get framing and rotation dialled in,  prior to going away to a dark site for a night.  Turned out so well to my surprise,  I put off going away.  The background was tough to deal with and is still there but happy till next time given the conditions.
