Description

This isn't the best photo I know, but I am new to this field of photography and this is my second attempt at getting something from a nights work. Also not using a rig for Galaxies, on a full moon night, I am proud to finally get something coherent out of it. Lots of learning and work to do with taking the photo and post processing it, but I consider this a big victory and a big step forward in my astro-journey.
