Description

My photographs, always obtained from an impossible sky (Bortle 9+) with a limiting visual magnitude of 1.1 are very unspectacular but I continue, despite everything, in my passion for astronomy.Here an image obtained with a Tecnosky 125 OWL f.7.8 refractor and a CLS CCD filter. Live stacking capture and no processing other than minor cropping and writing.The spikes are real, obtained with 3mm thick crossed insulating tape.
