Flaming star & Co wide field

[gorann]

This is the first of three images I will posts of this target for the challenge. They were all taken the same night (16-17 Dec 2917) with my new triple rig (a Samyang 135 f/2, a Canon 300 f/4 and an ES 127ED 5" refractor sitting side by side with Canon 60D cameras on them) in my garden obsy on the Swedish countryside in Värmland. Temperature fell from -7 to -14°C during the night. The ground was snow covered so SQM was around 20.5 (a bit lighter than usual)

Exposures: 360 x 1min = 6 hours
