This is a framing of the central region of the northern spring constellation of Canes Venatici, including its two brightest stars, the double star Cor Caroli at bottom and Chara at lower right. Several galaxies are visible even on this wide scale, such as Messier galaxy M94, just below center, M63 at left, and M106 at upper right. Just right of Chara is the Cocoon Galaxy NGC 4490. At top is the very red carbon star, Y CVn, aka La Superba. This is a stack of 26 x 1-minute exposures with the Canon RF135mm lens at and on the Canon R5 at ISO 800. Taken from home May 14, 2023. On the Star Adventurer tracker.
