This is just a test picture I did few nights ago to test something.It shows how simple is to get some nice night shots with a normal equipment.The sky had Moon,some light pollution,was not so late so the sky was not totally dark and average visual magnitude was aroun 5-5.5.Just a camera (Canon 1DSMKII) a lens (Canon 16-35 2.8 @16mm/3.2) a tripod and 20s exposure at 640iso.No darkframes,nothing.Just a quick post production in Photoshop.Surrounding landscape was nothing,just out of the door.moon at the center and Orion lower left.Enjoy and…try something better!
