While planning to purchase a quality refractor with a focal length of 1000mm, the heart of the heart was the first long exposure target I planned to capture. And I did. I really like it. I will get it printed. But I already see some post-processing improvements that I’d like to eventually correct first. As usually, we typically end up with at least 10 versions of a processed image. Although this particular colour palette was a first for me, it has become a favourite… soft and tranquil.
