Description

2 hours of exposure on the Orion Constellation in heavily light polluted skies using a modified Canon 70D, Sigma 18-35mm ART lens and CLS-CCD light pollution filter.

I am absolutely thrilled with this lens. It takes amazing sharp images with 0 CA. My only complaint is that the lens needs to be stopped down to 5, 6 or even 7 to eliminate all coma, or distortion of stars near around the outside of each frame.
