Milky Way and Summer Triangle - 08/16/2015

Do you recognize the summer triangle on this picture ? A fictive figure whose summits are formed by the 3 brightest star of the summer night sky :

 

- Vega, from Lyra constellation (top)

- Deneb, from Cygnus constellation (bottom left)

- Altair, from Aquila constellation (middle right)

 

This picture has been obtained stacking 5 images of 5 minutes exposure each. Of course, an equatorial mount was used to offset the Earth rotating motion.

 

A 18-55 mm kit lens mounted on a Canon 600D camera were also used.
