Description

I really wanted to shoot this target with my Epsilon and I had the chance to this winter before it started getting too low. This is such a neat target and I am astonished that there are nebulae out there that resemble things from our lives.

The H-alpha in the background gives this target a much more eerie feeling! Another thing about this target that amazes me are all the tiny galaxies that can be found looking around the starfield. I found at least 8 galaxies and I am sure there are even more.
