Description

This galaxy season started well with almost all clear nights  between the 28 of February and the 5th of March. 
It was more than a year that I hadn't so many clear night during the new Moon so hopefully the trend will be better this season. 

I decided to spend all nights on this subject which I like a lot but it's indeed very difficult to capture under a light polluted sky and with hindsight, I would have probably used a bit shorter exposures.
