Description

This image was taken right after doing the 5x4minutes set (at http://www.astrobin.com/104131/B/). I just wanted to test the limits of my mount (EQ3-2). I've processed this image in July but I've just realized it wasn't in Astrobin yet. What a beautiful that was. Taken from Rural Skies (Bortle 3-4), from MG, Brazil. Thanks for seeing.

Camera: Unmodded T4i/650D at ISO 800

Lens: Canon 18-55mm @ 18mm, f/4.5

Exposure Detail: Single Frame, 1x480s or 8 minutes

*I don't know why, but in Astrobin this image lacks contrast and sharpness (a bit, of course!). I've uploaded a bit overprocessed images (for my taste) as Version C*

*Version -D- and -E- are Version -B- processed using PS Lab Colors, with keeping the a and b colors crossing on the middle, bumping "b"s highlights and "a"s shadows. Version -E- was further processed using Star Shrink*
