11.07.2021 NE AR12842

Post by Rusted »

I have spent the entire day fighting boiling seeing conditions and equipment hurdles.
I was still capturing at 19.00 during local sunset behind the trees.
The seeing was so soft I never knew whether I was focused despite the big monitor and DIY electric focusing.
This one was arguably the sharpest, but rather over-processed, I'm afraid.
Not even sure it is on-band! Must try harder. :D
