Treasures in Milky Way

A 40-minute tracked medium format exposure framing iconic deep-sky targets along the summer Milky Way, shot under the dark skies of Zselic, Hungary. Prominently featured near the upper-center is the distinct reddish pink emission glow of the Eagle Nebula (M16), with the famous Swan Nebula / Omega Nebula (M17) glowing brightly just below it. Below them lies the dense star field of the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud (M24). Captured on Kodak Portra 400 using a Pentacon Six paired with a vintage Meyer-Optik Görlitz Telemegor 300mm lens, delivering incredible resolution and rich astronomical detail.
