Description

Vega star in the constellation Lyra.

2x as massive as our sun and around 25 light years away, fairly close

Its the fifth brightest star in our night sky.

60x15s exp at ISO 800 with C8 telescope (sct) and canon 70d.

The starspikes comes from two linen cables i strapped over my telescope to create the beautiful spikes. I normally dont do this but i figured it added to the image in this case personal taste only.
