Description

During my business trip in South Africa I was able to spend a weekend on a farm in Free State in an area with no light pollution. Best measured value was SQM 21.91 mag/arcsec². Conditions for astrophotography were unfortunately not ideal; heavy winds and some cloud cover. However I managed to capture 4 hours of data: the LMC, SMC and the Eta Carina region.

All pictures were taken with a Canon 6D (standard, not modified version) and Samyang 135mm f2 @ f2
