Lazy or attempt to get views on imgur

attempting to get views would be linked to my portfolio.

the mans smart, I mostly do portraits or landscapes, with a 20mm lens, thats only a segment of the milky way, and I don't research it that much.

so yeah I am LAZY, thats breaking down a lot of the observable universe, what better way than asking someone that is knowledged?

Wow, I never noticed before but it appears that God has signed the sky, take that Dawkins.

In general we do not allow callout threads; if you've put another user's name in your subject heading or opening post, the thread will most likely be removed. In this case since it's just a simple question I go ahead and answer it but in the future please do not call out individual members or mods.



Galaxies are much dimmer and more diffuse. Those are two bright stars distorted by edge-of-field effects in your lens. In this case, the stars in question are Altair and Tarazed in the constellation Aquila.

The optical distortions of your lens at the edge of the field of view mean that the astrometry and constellation diagrams do not line up well at those stars at the edge, and it's also why the stars themselves look elongated in your image, but that's what they are. Hope this helps.
