Description

Venus-Pleiades conjunction, 6th of April. I was rather saddened by the thought of needing to capture nebulosity from a Bortle 8 zone, shooting through holes in the clouds on a tracking mount that requires a clear sight of Polaris, but lockdown is lockdown. Thankfully, as I was shooting some untracked 1-s exposures on Venus, I started remembering better nights... such as the night when I first took my Takumar 135 2.5 to play in Bortle 2 skies on top of a mountain above low clouds that covered the whole of Eastern Europe ... a night where my lens test was 20 30s exposures on the Pleiades. So this is 100 1-s exposures from Bortle 8 + 20 30s exposures from a Bortle 2 way above its pay grade. ISO 800, Canon 800D, f4, processed in PixInsight
