Marlboro night

A nice timelapse Ben. A MW timelapse is always fun to do and the result is pleasing.

With astro images, no correction is needed anyway and even for landscapes one can get away without corrections in most cases. I wouldn't use this for things like cityscapes or where trees are at the edge without correcting.

Thanks Jameel. Without correction, the entire ground is dark. I go back and forth with correction on and dial down the vignette by 70%. Or I just leave it off and try to regain the brightness with other actions.

If you don't use the correction, its overly dark, and least at f2,8. I need to relook at the f8 shot and wee how it looks with correction off. I sometimes turn on correction and then adjust vignette to -70

I never use Lens Correction on my photos. Never... I find it too destructive as it removes too much of the photo.

I use the Warp tool, so that I can control the correction. And then I use the Vignette tool in ACR to control the darkening in the corners.

You actually have to use -70 for the vignette? Wow! That's huge. I use -50 with the Sigma 14mm f1.8, but that's the most. My Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 is about -30, and other various lenses will be less then that. -70 is a lot.

As mentioned to Ben, I never use Lens Correction in any of my photos. But I do correct for Vignetting with the vignette slider in ACR. I believe you have to otherwise the corners look too dark.

Jim, the -70 is for when I use correction and its to increase vignetting not to remove it. The correction is for EF cameras and I think it does not match a lens with an adaptor on an RF camera.
