Description

Whenever I process the Milky Way I always feel it to be more a "dusty" way than any other thing.....

Mosaic of several images taken with the canon 50 mm (the cheap version). I step it up to f4 to get decent stars, although I still had to crop corners as the full size sensor is challenging in this sense. Nevertheless, amd despite some derived "scars" on the image from some aberrations (and from the fact that I was mixing images from last year with this one), it is quite amazing what can be done with a 150 euros lens. 

I have tried to highlight stricture of the galaxy, dust lanes, and stars but whitout erasing them all nor having zillions of them either. 

I have also tried to be soft on the processing, to find a sweet spot between galactic punch and natural feel. Of course (and willing to),  I am open to take sugestions...

Each tile of the mosaic has been an hour time of integration in subs of 240s-300s. 


Wish you all a nice weekend, Guillermo
