Description

Quick shot near Cygnus constellation during Family weekend in a bortle 5 area.
Only a few minutes of data but I was curious about using a simple 50mm lens with my diy tracker. I used 1 minute subs, but with better polar alignment (polaris was hidden by très) I should be able to have longer exposures easily.
