Description

Of course I wanted this stunning region captured through the hyperstar focus. Regarding the nice resolution, I see that I am limited by the pixelsize. But for such a large field of view it is ok, I think. It is a two panel mosaic, but even a four panel mosaic would be easy to handle regarding the necessary exposure time. F1.9 is incredible fast. On the first view it is just another nice pic of that region, but on the second there is more visible. The dark clouds show nicely structures with different shades of grey and blue and it gets clearer what is in front and what is on the backside. Overall I am very happy that I took the hyperstar to Namibia for testing it under best conditions. I learned a lot by doing so. Please go under full resolution for watching. Hope you like it too.

best, Christoph
