thanks

i used f2.8 which is the lowest my lens goes. i will have a play around with a few things to see if i can do better next time. lots to learn in nightscape imaging, but this shot was an afterthought when i saw how beautiful the milky way was at 3:00 am.

what really surprised me is that even though i was shooting at 2.8 and i usually shoot at 4 with my scope, it was extremely difficult to find a star in the live view to improve my focus.

still -its a great pic especially from a single sub!
