Milky Way

Photo Information

First try at stars. K3 II with astrotracer at 5min, another at 30sec plus flashlight light painting foreground. Blended in elements and heavily cropped (I didn't know about DA15 Ltd terrible coma at f4). I didn't have another go as I had two batteries on my 2 weeks camping holiday with no electricity and they were both nearly dead after this session.

That's a cracking shot of the Milky Way. Looks like the astrotracer works well.

Excellent effort. I like it.

Armed with a K3, some M, A, FA, DA, and star lens. With an eye open for "just one more lens".
