Shooting over 4 nights (Centaurus was setting, so it could only be photographed in the first half of the night). The galaxy itself is bright, but the color had to be worked on a bit during processing.
Askar FRA500 - a Petzval design, designed for full-frame sensors... Here we have a crop sensor - so the field is flat with plenty of margin... The other issue is that with guiding in Namibia at the beginning and end of the night, you have to fiddle with it - the temperature swing is too large - +30°C during the day and +5°C at night... And the stars get turbulent.
I also have a Samyang 500mm =) But I haven't shot with it yet. Even though I've owned it for almost a year. Wow, you really got far out there. Well, during the day it's +30°C, but by around 9 PM it's already below 10°C?
At 7, the sun sets... by 7:30, it's pitch dark... and it suddenly gets cold. By 9, it's already 15 degrees, and by early morning, around 3, it's down to 5... That's how it is...
I wasn't just passing by :) I went on purpose! There's no sky like this anywhere else!
