M6 Wide

The Widening. Trying out the DSLR... just for fun.
Just using the 24-105 lens that came with the 6D when my wife got it for work.

I love these shots, usually galaxies or galaxy clusters, that fill one with a sense of awe and wonder.

I manually focused with my fingers and eyes, yeah I know right? It took ages, and there were tears. One star. Would not recommend.

I had to stop down from F/4 to F/8 because the stars looked like comets, actually it looked exactly like a "too close" back focus problem at least visually. At F/8 is was better but not great. Since I was just having fun I let 'er buck.

Canon 6D @ 24mm F/8.
27 x 90s 1600g

I could not for the life of me get ImageSolver to work in PI and therefore no SPCC so I went with simple ColourCalibration and BackgroundNeutralisation.

As always tips, tricks, criticism and comments most welcome.
