Details
Canon 5DH. Canon 85mm F1.8, Hutech LPS filter, all at ISO500.

At f/2.8, 10X(2min, 4min, 8min )
At f/4 , 10x( 30s, 1min, 2min)

Converted from RAW to TIFF and corrected for flats with ImagesPlus. Stacked and aligned wiith Registar. Used EasyHDR to produce a LDR image from these five images. The potential dynamic range displayed is better than seventeen bits.

I am going to have to shim the lens as the stepper belt is pulling it slightly to one side. You can see this as the stars on the left are a bit out of focus compared to stars on the right.

nice capture Bert! :thumbsup:
You can really notice the left is out of focus like you mention.
Maybe you can loosen the belt up or use a very light or thin belt?
cheers Gary
