Description

After experimenting with exposures of thirty seconds and ten seconds at 24mm, I gave our galaxy another try with 20 seconds and longer exposures of the flatframes in hope to get a more controllable vignetting which I've been encountering with my compact camera so far.
It was once another calm and warm summernight under beautiful starry skies to lean back, relax and just wonder.
