Description

Tried this one in 2004 but didn't work out, too many gradient and too small a sensor (using the MX716 back then). Larger sensor and aperture did the trick but not without having too struggle with it. The image is in fact a mosaic of two sets, as even with a larger sensor the star field was poorly covered. The first set was taken in 2005 and the final one (with the lion share of exposure time) in 2008.
