Description

After waiting quite some time for a clear night to try out the Samyang 135mm f/2, 12 June night despite the Moon being quite bright, the seeing conditions were excellent. Was targeting star cluster NGC 6231, surprisingly caught a bit of IC 4628 (prawn nebula), lots of other star clusters, and the asteroid 602 Marianna. Sadly after 30mins clouds returned, and seeing conditions were poor again.

RGB 7m 20s (220x2" at ISO 800)  with Sony a6000 with Samyang 135mm on a tripod and fluid head.

Taken on June 12, 2002 23:00-23:35 IST, Bengaluru, India (Bortle 7)
