About this image

I took the opportunity on a clear, moonless night to go up to the moors to test my new Samyang 16mm f/2.0 lens. I was very pleased with the results. I used a Star Adventurer tracking mount and this gave me really nice shots of the Milky Way through the Summer Triangle asterism. I stacked the shots with DeepSkyStacker and processed the result with FastStone Image Viewer and Photoshop Elements.
