Thanks! I just wish I had a fast wide angle, the 35L is great but I could only fit maybe a quarter of the Milky Way that I could see in the frame

Lovely shots, maybe just a touch oversharpened?

Nope, both of these are single exposures

I've been told that some of my recent photos are oversharpened so I don't doubt it
