@wonderofscience I always wonder if this is camera tricker with exposure and such or if this is how naked eyes see, can someone clarify
@Fakepivot @wonderofscience This shows way more stars than the naked eye can see, I would guess down to a limiting magnitude of 10, when the unaided eye goes down to 6. More like what you would see with binoculars, but with a spectacularly wider field of view.
