  • Fuji X-T5
  • Samyang 135mm
  • Star Adventurer 2i

  • 217x 60s
  • ISO 125

  • Hot damn that's a cool astro shot

    I've been trying to work on astrophotography intermittently now for a little while but living in the Pacific Northwest makes it pretty tough lol

  • are those merging?

  • Seeing you do this with the Star Adventurer makes me hopeful

    Very cool
