Description

This is the first light of my new 180mm Nikkor. Framing was a real challenge as that part of the sky is really dark with no faint star to aim at. The result is a mosaic of 116 shots, 79 x 60s and 116 x 120s. I did very few editing on the stack to preserve details. Around sixty galaxies are visible on this picture, most of them quite famous.
