===== Night Sky Images - 15/09/2021 =====

This was my first ever attempt at night sky photography; it was less of a real attempt than a test to make sure that I could work my kit at night. Also making sure that my recently acquired wide-angle lens and tripod were all working correctly. Much too cloudy to get any real star-field images, but good enough to show everything was working.

Gear:
  * Canon EOS 200D
  * Tokina AT-X Pro SD 11-16mm f/2.8 (IF) DX
  * Tripod

Weather:
  * Light-to-moderate cloud cover

Location:
  * Garden

Software
  * [[https://www.rawtherapee.com/|Rawtherapee]] - RAW file importing, optical correction & image processing
  * GIMP - RAW/TIF to JPEG, cropping
