Description

Shot this image during a couple of nights in the 2018 summer, but somehow lost the flats which have kept me away from processing it. Eventually I found them and processed it yesterday.

I am happy with the result considering how badly the hot summer nights increase the noise in the 5D mark II.

I have had some problems with the colors and quality of the stars in the processing.

All in all, I think I will make a large print out of this one!!
