[Leica] IMG: Testing SL For Milky Way Imaging

[Bob Adler]

Hi Mark,
For the umbrella image it was dodged, for the pier image it was burned in places because there was a light behind me that lit up that side of the pier house. The umbrellas received a little light from me; fortunately just enough so I could bring up some detail. 

There are two images now posted (the next two after these first posting, that were taken at a lower ISO (6500) and seem to be far less noisy. It was a good lesson on what this camera can do;'not as well as the Sony A7r II, but better than the 240!
