    Messed up the darks unfortunately so not as smooth as could have been with them added in.

    Flame Nebula same exposure time but at ISO 3200.

    The lens focus at infinity isn't great at all but for €70 im very happy with the results.

    Nice one that's a great result. You have me thinking now i've a 70-300mm f5 sigma lens should be worth a try.
