Hi All - I was looking to so something with a wide-field shot where I hadn't quite nailed the focus for some reason so I decided to add some additional panels (with their locations) of other deep-sky shots I've taken in recent years.
Although most of us here know the sky pretty well, many great deep sky images can seem a bit disconnected from their surrounds in the sky.
The background shot was taken with a Samyang 14mm f2.8 lens. NGC 5128 & NGC 5139 at top right were taken with the ED102. Bottom left & bottom right panels were taken with the Astro-Tech 65mm EDQ & the two remaining panels were taken with the Samyang 135mm f2 lens. All shots with either my Pentax K-5 or my modded Pentax K-5iis. Unfortunately I don't have any images of the Ara region to add
