Lost in deep space

Deep space autoportrait taken in bortle 2 zone. The red part of the sky on the right is North America Nebula. Apart from that there's also plenty of out of focus space dust even with only 3 minutes of total exposure time on the sky. Imaging in bortle 2 zone feels almost like cheating (or maybe imaging in bortle 5 is a waste of time 🤔).

 

I wish I could make a better use of these conditions but the weather wasn't very kind for me on this trip. Predictions were quite promising but the clouds didn't care about it.

 

Anyway I find it quite fun to make so probably more of these kind of pictures is coming in the future.
