About this image

Here's another example of the performance of the William Optics Z61/Sony A7s combination in the very dark skies of Denis Buczynski's observatory at Tarbatness in Highland Scotland. There was some high cloud drifting past during this set so the bright stars have a halo but the overall result is quite nice. If you want to have a go at counting the stars the full-sized image is here.
