Well captured. Nice.


 


What kit did you use to image this? I want to have a go at getting it on film, but not had clear sky yet (else that or I was looking in the wrong place!)

I used my Nikon D40 and Sigma 300mm Apo lens on a static tripod, 5 second exposure @ f6.8 Iso 1600, noise reduction turned "Off".


Processed to remove lots of Red from the image and cropped.

OK. So potentially achievable by me (if I could see it!).


 


Was it visible with the naked eye?

No, spotted with my Bino's first.


Just snap the area at 70mm then zoom in on your subs and you'll spot it.
