Description

Another very wide image with the Nikkor 180mm f2.8 and the Cano R6.  The atmospheric conditions (very light and low cloud) gave a bit of softness to the image which I quite like.  What I am not such a fan of is the star shapes with the Nikkor wide open.  Even stopped down a bit with step down rings it is not that good so I tend not to even bother and just shoot it wide open.  The R6 continues to do very well for astro work.  This is not a modified camera.  Class 1 dark skies, Kafue National Park, Zambia.
