Hi,

Here is the reprocessed version of the milkyway I took at Mersing recently.

Taken with a borrowed 350d on a tripod.

Hi,
Very nice and very wide field. What is the lens used and setting??

Have a nice day.

Hi Weixing,

I think it was at the 18mm setting, a stack of just 4x30 sec shots. Experimented with deconvulation in IRIS to get the sharper stars, though it still is a small line due to trailing. Here at example of before and after of M6,7 and 8 at full resolution:

Hi,
What about f-stop and ISO?? Is it in RAW format?? Also, did you turn on the NR in Canon 350D??

Have a nice day.

Hi Weixing,

I think it was ISO1600 with aperture fully open. Not sure what it is though..

Rgds,
Chris

That is really beautiful with such simple setup. Dark skys rule.

Hi,

Just fresh from the Astrophotography workshot by Remus, I applied his techniques to this photo and I must say the results are obviously better!

Thanks Remus!

Remember that this is just a 2-min exposure!

Hi,
Hmm... Yes! It's look better...

Remember that this is just a 2-min exposure!

Remember you took it in Mersing at ISO1600... the power of dark sky.

Have a nice day.
