Notes |
This was first light for the Hutech Modified Canon 6D. I was unsure how the noise characteristics of this camera would hold up using Ha filters in light polluted skies. Needless to say, I'm very impressed and this picture came out much better than I had imagined. Hopefully I can add color to this next year. |
