Vega

[RB]

I was waiting for cloud to clear on Sunday night so I could snap the "Harvest" moon but alas no luck. The only "hole" in the sky was towards Vega, so I managed this 3.2 sec exposure.
Used the 300D with the 200mm lens at 1600 ISO unguided.
Also attached is a labeled star field from starry nights.
