Bit rough & been a while actually. Could this belong in Night-Scapes?

Not sure if was polar allignment or loose camera mounting adapter caused the dark line on left, could have chose 'interesection' in stack parameters tho decided not to, no matter.

Stats: 26 x 20sec, Canon 6D II, ISO 3200.
Samyang 135mm Lens @ F2.4
SW Star Tracker
Hope worth a squizz,,,

Yep sure worth a sqizz :thumbsup: great framing Bob, always great to see the RO area in context with the Mily Way, just trim off the left edge :)

Not too bad at all.

I have that lens too and have yet to use it. Perhaps the next clear night it gives a nice field of view of this object.

Is your 6D11 modded?

Greg.

Yeah, cheers Greg, It appears to be really good lens, no colour abberations, I reckon zero coma, just a smidge vignett wide open but gone @ F2.8.
Have not modded the 6D II, only point it at stars once in a blue moon :thumbsup:

I like this one. It puts me in mind of an off the wall abstract painting.

Thanx Mark, it has that look eh, & has been mentioned on some others in my past; might be my unorthodox processing, not a bad thing in retrospect, :whistle:

Very Nice image, I think this is the prettiest area of the cosmos

Thanx LKD, a very photogenic area in deed, would like to do again next new-moon, see if can produce a deeper result :thumbsup:
