Finally the skies had cleared here in Dirmerzheim, Germany for me to take some photos. Sadly, I don’t have an equitorial mount with me, or a barn-door. So I’ve had to deal with limited exposures and star trails. Anyways, I was still pleased seeing some Milky Way to show up in the image, with all the light pollution from Koeln (Cologne).
I’m impressed with this image and the others you’ve posted. You did well with whatever limitations you faced. I found your site via Raven Yu, and would like to add a link to yours on mine, thanks!
