Hi Fabrizio:
2600 above sea level is a good height for astrophotography.
You must be very cold, but take away a lot humidiy the environment.
I see that you can still stretch a bit more this picture. :wink:
Greetings
Cesar

I liked it. This is a less imaged galaxy and it looks good. The reddish colour because of Milky Way's obscuring dust stands out.
