Bohns Posted August 19 Share #1 Posted August 19 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Good evening everyone 😃 I had been reviewing it since the beginning of the summer, but the weather of the new moons of June and July did not allow it... I finally went to the ski resort of Gresse en Vercors, at the foot of the Grand-Veymont (highest point of the Vercors, French Alps) to capture the Milky Way around the new moon of August (night of 7 to 8). I tested for the first time in this exercise my Leica M11-P with the Voigtlander M 15 mm fully opened at f/4: Welcome, dear visitor!

Not too bad, but 20s pose is too long for this 60 MP sensor (visible stars trails), and there is some coma at full aperture. Next time, I will close a little (f/5) and reduce the exposure time (15s max), at the expense of noise (but this body "cases" it very well despite its high pixel density). I then tried the Summilux M 28 mm fully opened : Far too much coma on the bright stars on the sides of the photo. Too bad, because the composition is nice and the exposure time of 6s seems good. Next time, I will close a little at f/2 or even f/2.5 hoping to reduce the coma without raising the noise too much. Or maybe will I try the tighter APO-Summicron-SL 35 on the SL2 to take benefit of its exceptional sharpness and lack of aberations ? Finally, I set up my usual kit for the Milky Way, namely the SL2 with the Sigma 14 f/1.8 Art opened to f/2.2: It seems to be a good result. I really like the tent at the bottom of the photo in the axis of the Milky Way, with the tiny light at its right. It gives some « life » to the composition. Regards, Stef.
