I shot M5 Saturday night in Westport, Connecticut.
Despite some technical glitches, mainly my fault, I still think I got a decent image. I was planning on getting at least 60 frames on this but for some reason I forgot to check what time I needed to do a meridian flip.That being said, when I came out to take flats I realized my mistake and had lost about 20 frames from the mount hitting the stops! Oh well, I won’t make that mistake again.
This image is 46x105” at iso 800 with a Canon T3i and ES127 ED.
Thanks for looking
