but it had given more noise and less dynamic. |

| Comment : |
It is fantastic what a digital camera and a computer can do!
Sky with light pollutions and it wasn't even free from clouds, the lens is over thirty years old.
It's processed in IRIS and the HDR function is used to stack them together to keep the dynamics.
The image field is about 25 by 16 degrees. |
