Description

I spent 4 days in a lovely place on the Croatian coast called Selce. Light pollution there is very low, and Milky Way was visible with naked eye from my apartment terrace. So, I set up the camera and took a number of frames I have never before taken for astrophotography, totalling at a 43 minutes long exposure. I think the results speak for themselves at what you can achieve with a lot of time. I had to focus manually, as I didn't have a Bahtinov mask ready for these lens.
