Nice capture. Was that tracked?

Thanks.

No, not tracked - single 2.5 sec exposure. Denoised with DXO, tweaked with Topaz Photo and finalized with Radiant. I've decided that the rule of '500' is absolute rubbish and now lean heavily on NFP. Waaay less blurry stars.

I couldn't get the A1II focused to save my life - I'll try again with it tomorrow night (hopefully clear skies).

This is from my Z8/50mm f/1.2.

(I really need to find a way to turn off that bloody street light! )
