I usually prefer to photograph the Milky Way core I usually prefer to photograph the Milky Way core since it is the most impressive part of our Milky Way. However, this time I thought to give it a try and photograph the opposite side. Here you can see the constellation of Cassiopeia, named after the vain queen Cassiopeia, mother of Andromeda, in Greek mythology. The five brightest stars of Cassiopeia are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon Cassiopeiae. The passing cars helped me in adding some nice light trails and lighting up the trees. Here is the final result!
