Visibility V / V

Otto Vehviläinen, Ursa (Etelä-Suomi)

At the turn of February-March, I photographed this object on four almost consecutive bright nights from Helsinki's Vallila home. I exposed the constellations of the Driver's constellation at night, but from midnight onwards this was the best where there was visibility. The data was collected the most from projects so far and as a reward it took about 26 hours to stack this on a computer.
