Description

Another image from my trip to the ESO facilities in Chile. This time I tried to get both Magellanic clouds on one image by using the Samyang 50mm f1.4 RF lens. Again untracked just using a tripod and stacking some 200 subs each exposed for 6 seconds. The framing is challenging for the optics as at 50mm, the clouds are well in the outer regions of a full format chip where the limitations of a photo lens clearly shows. f1.4 provides poor star quality even in the center of the image, at f2.8 it is good in the center and acceptable in the outer regions. But for an image like that the wide-field impression is what counts. Not the place for pixel peeping …
