Wider Area of LBN 552....First Time going Dark

[dp297 (Dimitris)]

I thought I might try my luck with the Dark ones....
Clearly the Nikon lens is having a hard time dealing with the mixture of gas and stars....fringe is visible but manageable.
Hope u like it....

Very interesting field there, so much to look at. It could do with a little bit of lightening up overall just to make it a bit easier to see. On my laptop anyway, could be better on others calibrated monitors
