Description

trying to find the point where high gain causes clipping, and with the light pollution here, it's a real game. this was shot with a Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8 D, stopped down to f2.8. I think I'm going to have to ratchet down the gain a little and go with slightly longer subs; I've blown out too many stars.
