Description

Dec. 31 - no moon, clear sky, no early working the next day: normally a typical night in the dark sides of the Black Forest in Germany for me.
But with friends invited to celebrate the new year, the first moonless clear night for months wasn't the best night for going out.

So I take my RASA 8 on the balcony with heavy light pollution and take some shots unguided, 0gain, 30sec on the horsehead. I didn't think, that it will come out good, cause the neighbors had their full light on, but I still like the details that the stack of 512 frames produced.

Have a happy new year everybody with a lot of clear nights ;-)
