Description

This is a wide field image taken with my 18-55mm lens at 55mm. It was moving into a bad light dome in the west and ended up with a bad gradient. I worked to remove as much as I could and then cropped the worst out. The final image is a close rotated crop where I could stretch the curves more to see as much tail as possible. It's not bad, I guess, considering that I only got 27min of exposure and was using my kit zoom lens. It wasn't what I hoped for, but that's just how it goes.
