Description

Hey there !

Kind of some emotionnal one, I started astro last year with that target using only my old Canon 7d markii + 100-400 L zoom, and it was not really good...

It felt easier with the hyperstar though a longer focal length would have looked better. I tried it on my Edge 800 at F7 (1422mm focal length) but unfortunately it's been very windy here in New Caledonia and the result was really average.

I realized mid way that 60" exposures gets me really blown out stars with RGB filters on the hyperstar, so I had to image again at 30".

Hope you like it !

Fabien
