Description

This galaxy literally sparkles with details. The background reveals tiny little galaxies, some of which are billions of light years away.

I had a previous post of this which was taken from home and was selected as an IOTD. By comparison, I’d say this version had me picking my jaw off the floor. I shot this at the OPT remote observatory in California using some world-class equipment and skies. Thanks to the fine folks over there for always helping me out.

Since its not my normal gear and I don't feel like adding it, I'll list it out here...
