Description

4 min single exposure. Nikon 70-200mm zoom F/2.8

This was the best of about 5 tries mixing iso settings and trying 3-5 minute exposures. 3 minutes was a bit short on detail and 5 minutes showed enough field rotation to be objectionable, even to my humble early attempts at this

Some tweaking in photoshop to darken the sky as even at 200iso under pretty dark (green) skies a ton of scatter had the raw version right from camera with a brown purplish tint.
