A night on the river in Canyonlands
Canyonlands National Park, Utah, during a 4-day rafting trip from Moab to Lake Powell. Canon R5 with RF 20 mm F/1.4L VCM. Sky is single row panorama with tracked 2-minute exposures, f/2, ISO 500. Tracked with Move-Shoot-Move Nomad tracker, polar aligned with iPhone. Foreground is panorama taken at the beginning of astronomical twilight. River reflection is stack of 10-sec, f/1.4, ISO 6400 exposures, untracked, stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker. The three images were blended and processed in Photoshop.
This was my first trip with this new 20 mm Canon RF lens, and I am extremely impressed with its astro performance, despite the degree of forced in-camera corrections for distortion and vignette. The images stitched flawlessly in Lightroom, and coma/astigmatism are almost nonexistent (at f/2).
