Description

This is my first effort on a wide field project. The sky was clear in the South part of the sky where I was shooting but, there was a lot of lightning off to the East that I think had quite a negative impact on this image. I still think it was worth the effort and demonstrates to me the quality of the Nikkor 180mm ED lens and the fun that can be had imaging wide field subjects.
