One of my best #photography of the #night #sky, and forever the first of this quality.

It took me 5 hours to make this #picture from the #HauteProvence #Observatory. The #camera was pointing toward the equator, which explains why stars circles around 2 different poles (North pole on the right / South pole on the left).
The foreground #telescope is the 1.2m, while the one in the background is the 1.93m, ie the one that was used to discover the first #exoplanet in 1995: #51Peg b
