M8 & M20

Post by universe24 »

Hi all,

After the instant test shot of M8 & M20 few days ago, the sky clear again last two night.

For this time, my target is to expose a single frame as longer time as possible, based on a concept of longer exposure time, better image quality.

Below is the final processed image.

Mod350D + light pollution filter
Intane 80ED, f/7 refractor
RAW mode
ISO200
21 x 180s = 63 minutes
Image Calibrated
