Description

First light with a Nikon AF FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D lens on my unmodded Nikon D3500. Based on information found on line I did stop this down to f2.8 but still got star distortion in the corners. Given how fast this lens is stopping down further to mitigate star distortion shouldn't be an issue, this will be a fun addition to my collection for getting constellation-scale fields.

132 x 30 second subs @ ISO 800, f2.8
20 Bias
25 Flats
25 Darks

Stacked, calibrated in Siril, stars and nebulae separated with StarNet++, final processing and merging with Lightroom and Photoshop
