Capella and its neighbourhood

[StargeezerTim]

As Capella has been of such good service to me as both an alignment star and a great star to get the focusing spot on, I thought I would take an image of it in appreciation!

Its 21 X 5min, iso 400, 50mm lens at F4.5, tracked, 1200D. PS and DSS. There is the flaming star and tadpoles at the bottom.

Thanks... these shots really get me thinking about life, the universe and that sort of thing! Each tiny dot is a Sun and solar system. And this is just our stellar equivalent of our front garden!

I won't do the Hitchhikers quote, it's so clichèd!!! BUT, it's so right
