Description

Poor quality sky. Wind gusts. The sky finally "butchered" very early, around midnight, because of a cloud mass that arrived suddenly.

This test shows that the gap between the high and low lights is too large to record details in both the heart and arms of the galaxy. Next time I'll be working on two sets of shots. The first series in relatively short poses, to record the details of the heart, the second series in long poses in order to capture the fine nuances of the galactic arms.
