A test shot to see how an unmodd DSLR could do the job in capturing milky way with light pollution |
Comments after test :
When I started imaging the milky way, it had moved into the western sky with light pollution from the Bathurst city light.
This final image seems not to bad, but personally, I prefer wide field imaging with films, especially E200s.
The colour of milky way in a film image is much richer, especially for the H-alpha light.
