Cetus (35mm 6DII).jpg
Cetus, low in my autumn sky on a fine night in November 2019, but with some cloud just beginning to move in at bottom, and with the constellation just above my treetops.
Mira, at left of centre, was a month past maximum brightness and was magnitude 3 or so, easily naked eye. Menkar (aka Alpha Ceti) is the bright star at upper left; Diphda (aka Deneb Kaitos or Beta Ceti) is the bright star at lower right.
This is a stack of 5 x 2-minute exposures with the 35mm lens at f/2.5 and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 800, on the LighTrack II tracker. An additional exposure through the Kenko Softon A filter adds the star glows.
