32mm - Milky Way at f/1.4 tonight (PICS)

As usual great shots Marco!

Hard to tell for sure at this reduced resolution but the coma/sagittal distortion despite the fact that it is clearly present, looks to be a lot better than the 35/2IS or the few Sigmas I've tried (like the 20/1.4 Art).

I drove to the mountains tonight to test the EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM lens with the Milky Way. I haven't had time to edit anything properly and yet I thought the results were interesting enough to share here. Images were sharper than expected with virtually no Coma visible, even at f/1.4. Colors were good. Weather changed too quickly with clouds moving across the Milky Way as the sun set on one horizon and the moon rose on the other. I literally did not expect the image quality to be so sharp with the milky way and I was lucky to be able to manually focus on a star before taking these shots. Even the foreground trees and power poles were sharp, despite my focus lock being on the stars.

Moonrise ruined my dark sky.

ISO 1600 with 15 seconds at f/2.2First shot I took, looking straight up at the Galactic Core with perhaps too long of a shutter speed. This image was taken with Auto White Balance and has not been edited.

Again, the moonrise at about 8:15pm was looking more like a sunrise.

ISO 1600 for 10 seconds at f/1.4Taken with Tungsten White Balance - surprisingly detailed. A minor "levels/curves" tweak was made to this image.

Looking West, there were clouds moving in which cut my night to just 15 minutes.

ISO 800 for 8 seconds at f/1.4This image is essentially how it came out of the camera... just the slightest tweak to levels was applied.

Handheld at a lookout @ ISO 3200... some construction workers stopped to check out the rising moon and take a few pictures of their own.

NiSi Natural Night Filter used for this shot...Sydney's outer suburbs beneath light-pollution (which is why I drove up to the mountains).

NiSi Natural Night Filter used for this shot... Moonrise 1

NiSi Natural Night Filter used for this shot... Moonrise 2

Handheld - you can see a little bit of 'Bokeh-Swirl' here in the background.

A NiSi Natural Night Filter fitted on my 32mm f/1.4 lens with step-up rings to the EOS M6 was used for some of the shots above (three shots but not the Milky Way). I'm not sure I got the Kelvin point right with 3500K and will try again at 5000K in the near future.
