Description

My first Milky Way shot. A single 20s exposure, 15mm (23mm eq.), f/3.5, ISO800, DR400, using a Fujifilm X-T100 with XC 15-45mm kit lens, mounted on a tripod.

The dynamic range RAW filter option worked surprisingly well for astrophotography. Using a DR setting of 400 allowed me to lower the ISO value from 1600 to 800, keeping stars from bloating while bringing up the mid-tone values to improve nebulosity.

Edited in Photoshop to increase saturation and contrast, and reduce noise.
