I would have preferred to shoot this with the modded camera, but it was occupied so I went for it with the stock cam. The field barely fits in the decent stars of the Zenithstar, so the outermost stars are kinda messy. Even still, I'm stoked by how good it turned out and by adding ha to this one it should be even that much nicer in the end.

Looks very nice. Nothing quite like a full frame shot of the entire Veil :)
