Description

Another first light image with the Askar FMA135. Just one hour of integration so more data will help, especially on a Moonless night. One could spend hours looking at a wide star field like this. it's like a taste of dark sky.

One year later after learning Pixinsight I have posted a revision of this image.

The wide field is nice but a narrower field and more detail would be nice too ...
