Description

Severely sabotaged by enemy clouds all I could rescue were 50 (of 55) frames after a most generous, merciful selection. Clouds are not just rolling in and out, but forming out of nothing directly in front of my target object. This is unfair space war! 

No calibration, no tricks. Lens stopped at f2.4. The "Kenko Starry Night" is a light pollution filter.

The Milky Way season will be over soon in that this image is an incredible piece of luck and peace of mind.
