Description

The two best-known Sagittarius nebulae together in one image is not an exceptional record, the great asset of this image is the lens used.

A Pentax 6x7 300mm f/4, manufactured in the 70s. The lens has a very pronounced magenta aberration, but I believe it is possible to remove it using software, which I am not an expert on.
