Description

I just purchased a Canon 50mm f1.8 last Sunday for terrestrial photography. I figured I'd set it free under the stars for a night to see what was capable of. Interestingly enough there is very little CA, though SA seems pretty severe in the outer corners. This may also be some guiding anomaly.

The image is basically unmolested by imaging programs. Frames were stacked and aligned blended using a median algorithm. Levels and tonal curve was adjusted slightly.

Frames were dithered very aggressively to eliminate color mottle.

No correction frames
