Living within a spiral galaxy gives us the chance to get an up close view of the dust clouds that fill the inter-stellar space in the spiral arms. If it wasn’t for this dust obscuring the starlight from millions of stars then our night sky would look very different.
This image is a wide-field view of the area around Cygnus. Six exposures of 3 minutes each at ISO 800 and f/3.5 with my Sigma 10-20mm zoom.
