@SkyWatch07 @CanonUKandIE @TurismoLZT @LanzaInfo @lanzaweather @spain @AerLingus @CorkAirport Canon R5 with a sigma 28mm f/1.4 Art.
The lighthouse was 10sec | f/2 | ISO2000 | Pano Image, single exposures merged in Lightroom.
And the crab sculpture was 10sec | f1.8 | ISO3200 | 1 Single image.
I had the MSM tracker with me but didn’t have time to setup due to the clouds!

@kartikeyarana10 @DIAS_Dublin Thank you very much Kartikeya, I really appreciate it! 😃
Very good point, I will contact them and ask if they can even reposition the photo so at the very least the moon can be seen. 😊
