Coma Berenices Region.This
picture was taken just before the constellation
set into the treetops. The background
bluish glow is due to light pollution from a
nearby town. An Olympus OM-1 SLR camera
with 50mm f1.8 Zuiko lens
was used on FujiColor Superia 400
film.
The camera was guided piggybacked
on a German-equatorial mounted
Celestron Newtonian telescope at Batu
Layar Beach in Peninsula Malaysia.
