Description

Still in Baratti, Southern Tuscany...I couldn't resist from zooming into the Milkyway region I imaged the other day ( https://www.astrobin.com/6e7blm/?nc=user ) ! It's so beautiful!

So last night I pointed the Sigma 70-300 APO (200mm @ f/6.3) at the core of the southern part of the Milkyway where the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae are, together with Saturn. The image is about 50 minutes of combined 30s and 60s exposures @ 6400 ISO. I'm quite pleased with the result, even though the lens is not very good (I had to crop out a lot of comatic stars at the corners).
