Tracking was not perfect for two of the four exposures, and no calibration was performed whatsoever - just a quick snap (which was also be mirror-reversed, since a diagonal was used). Canon EOS 350D, 4 x 120s at ISO 1600, co-added in Registax4, cropped and levels) Click image for full original photo . |
