I have made a slight repro edit to the suggestion H gave, where I have tried to remove that white halo above the trees. The repro is the second image. I think I like the new version better.
Hi all,
Here is a shot I have been working on since returning from my weekend away at Bretti. Seeing Andromeda rise and skim the mountains around the camp site offered a unique opportunity to capture both Andromeda and the Pinwheel galaxies close to a clear horizon away from all the muck of a lower horizon. Credit must be given to Dunk (Camelopardalis) for giving me the idea to try it. This allows you to clearly see their angular size in the sky when compared to the trees.
This is a stack of 6 x 3 minute exposures with a single 3 minute exposure for the foreground. Shot with the Canon 6D and Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS lens at 70mm f/5.6 ISO3200. You can also notice some fog rolling in down the hill. Was a really nice setting and sight to witness.
Higher res shot can be seen
here.
As always, feedback is greatly appreciated and thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Jason
