Description

This is my work of the Polaris and the IFN (Integrated Flux Nebula) that visually surrounds it.

In the direction of the North Celestial Pole, there is a very faint IFN. In the photo, this IFN appears to surround the Polaris, but in fact, this nebula is located on the outer area of the Milky Way, illuminated by the light of the entire galaxy.

During the shooting, short exposure subs (10s per sub) were added for a later HDR processing, clearly showing Polaris A and Polaris B.
