Driving to the nearby Colo River a couple of nights earlier, I took the first two shots below with the EOS 6D + 24mmL lens. Saturn can still be seen crossing the Milky Way (near the top of the image in a similar position to the ones taken with the EOS M6) and I only left after a couple of dozen pictures because it was so cold. About 3c degrees at the time. In less that 12 minutes I'd lost all feeling in my fingertips (I had fingerless gloves on) and ended up getting in my car and returning home where it was warmer. I had the EOS M6 with me but I was too cold to remain motivated. Also, whenever the self-timer on the camera beeped, a strange bird in a nearby tree would imitate the beeping. The first time it happened it annoyed me... but it was funny after half a dozen shots.

The image below is from the set taken last night with the EOS M6 and the same 24mm f/1.4L lens (via the EF-to-EF-M lens adapter). Though not quite as detailed as the one taken with the Tungsten setting via the 22mm lens, it's still quite interesting. The aperture was set to f/1.6 and yet it missed some of the finer details - near the core. It was still pretty darned close in terms of what it captured.
