Recently I dug up an old Zenit camera in the garage, and after taking the lens off, I decided to test it. Going outside and looking up, I saw the Milky Way and immediately remembered the nebulae in Cygnus and my long-standing plans to photograph the Sadr region, and generally the area around Cygnus. Overall, the result isn't bad; compared to all my previous ones, which thank God I didn't post, this photo turned out well. The result is pleasing, everything is good, but not perfect; I should have used a longer exposure.
Frame details: 59×4s, f2, ISO1600, 58mm.
Total exposure: ~4 minutes.
I'm thinking of re-shooting when I get a new camera; this one, unfortunately, stopped turning on when I tried to do an astro-mod((
