Thank you Thom for providing me with this image!
Milky Way photography challenge in darktable 3.6:
I always find it hard to edit milky way photos. Maybe it's because I have no idea what I'm doing, or maybe it's because of the quality of the image itself. Check out the link below to download the image, and feel free to send your results + XMP files to me. If I receive enough examples/copies, I will make a video on it and showcase them. Be sure to send your IG/Twitter/Youtube tag along with the email to enterthevlogosphere@gmail.com
