Description

This is my first attempt at astrophotography with a star tracker and DSLR.
I shot this at the Mauricie Nationnal Park in Quebec, Canada (Bortle class 3-2).
I had a hard time polar aligning because I arrived late and could not see clearly Polaris through my polar scope.
Because of that, I only managed to do 30s exposures and less integration time then what I wanted.
But because of the dark sky, I still managed to get very good data.


Constructive critiscism is appreciated
