Hot damn that's a cool astro shot
I've been trying to work on astrophotography intermittently now for a little while but living in the Pacific Northwest makes it pretty tough lol
Thanks!
are those merging?
Seeing you do this with the Star Adventurer makes me hopeful
Very cool
Thanks! With this focal length the star adventurer is more than sufficient.
