Description

In april I caught 29 subs of M101 : 120 sec @ 2000 iso under a less than perfect Belgium sky.

In south of France I wanted to improve this work but as it wasn't a priority in my shopping list, I only gave it a try with 1 x 120 + 4 x 150 sec @ 3200 iso. I used 65% of these with 35% of the old session in order to reduce noise especially on the background. I hoped to get at least 25 frames (subs) here in Portugal but it's been cloudy for the past 4 days...

Enjoy patience and clear skies ;-)

B VERSION : reworked the color balance and sharpness... until more subs and Ha...
