Here's my first go at this type of thing.

Nikon D800E, Nikkor 85mm f1.8, Vixen Polarie

32images, 105 seconds, f3.5 iso1250. Stacked and processed in CS6.

Nice work. You've captured quite a lot of dust.

Very nice Lincoln. The Polarie seems to be gaining popularity on this forum.

The stars are so fine in this image. Polarie does a nice job with wide field.

I looked at the image and didn't read the text at first. My first thought was "Takahashi FS60".

In other words, NICE shot, and a great lens on the DSLR!

Nice range of colour :D

Great shot. 85mm F1.8g is one of Nikon's sharpest but it does suffer from excessive chromatic aberration.

You could use the remove axial chromatic aberration slider there a tad as there are some purple halo'd stars from chromatic aberration showing. F2.2 this tends to weaken and wide open there is a bit too much.

You got great colour showing there.

Great result. Well done.

[RobF]

Beautiful work. Would love to see higher res.
Possibly a bit more red/orange and saturation for an image showing such great detail would be my only suggestion.

[iceman]

Excellent work!
