Tonight I swapped from the modded Canon20D over to my stock standard Canon 550D. This was imaged through my Tamron 90mm Macro lens. 2hrs and 35min of 5 minute exposures. ISO400 and F4. I love this little lens. :D

Higher res version here.

Fine widefield shots your getting with that lens. Just imagine what it would do to a large comet.

If you could organise one for me, I'd appreciate that. :)

Great field. Very nice contrast. :thumbsup:

I'll see what I can do lol. Maybe Panstarrs will put on a treat.

[jjjnettie]

I honestly hope our astro buddies in the Northern Hemisphere get that one. They've not had a decent comet in a long time. :)

Very nice widefield, JJJ! It's like a carpet of stars.
