Description

Quite happy with this picture taken over two nights from the countryside in southern Tuscany (Italy). Scorpio was quite low on the horizon so I had only a couple of hours to shoot right after sunset.

Not sure the 60s data set adds anything to the quality of the final picture.

The only real good piece of equipment I had was the [url=/gear/75688/skywatcher-star-adventuer-mini/]SkyWatcher Star Adventuer Mini (SAM)[/url]...The lens was an average Pentax 50mm f/1.7 stopped down to f/2.8 and the camera was a Canon 600D. The temperature of 28 Celsius did not help either, together with a relative humidity of 90%.
