The Backbone of Night

[Irish stargazer]

This was one of my first images taken with the Tokina 11-16mm from the Pony Club. It was taken using my old Canon 450D on a static tripod. I stacked 14 x 20 second exposures (to avoid trailing) and reprocessed it using Photoshop CC (which I did not have at the time). ISO 800 which is about the max for a 450D was used. Its a bit noisy. The title is obviously from the Cosmos TV series but I thought it was apt.
Have a great Christmas and New Year everybody :)
