Description

I think all of you have experienced "WOW" moments during post processing. Today, this happened to me! Last night I spent 10 minutes on M45, just to see what is possible with the Samyang lens. I have tried M45 earlier with my old tele lens and I was never able to get the nebulosity, even after hours. With f/2.8, this is no problem anymore, I even get the faint nebulosity around the main complex! This will be my favourite autumn target!
