Description

This is my first image with my newly astro-modded Pentax K1. Unfortunately I do not have a good lens until now. I used an 35 years old Tokina 135mm lens to take this photo. The star shapes are really bad, but if you do not zoom in, you will not notice it that much.

I took the photo in southern France while I was on holidays there. In Germany it is too low in the sky. I am very happy to had the chance to photograph this region, it is one of the most beautiful regions on the northern hemisphere. I only used my star tracker to take this picture late in the night for a limited amount of time.
