Thank you Ann,
There is an object in the background I do not know. Can you tell me what it is? I marked it in the second image with a green circle.
In the red circle you see the planetary nebula PN Ba 1
Best wishes
Reinhold

Happy New Year!

Shot the fireworks in my neighbourhood and the image includes the trails of the constellation Lion in the upper left corner - you can easily make out that B-class stars like Regulus with its fine blue colour, a hint that the surface temperature is far higher than that of our sun.
