I had to chuck quite a few subs away due to the power supply losing charge as the night progressed and caused trailing but until then, most had tracked well, as a result of good polar alignment and balance.

Although I used much shorter subs, and therefore got less of the outer
parts of the galaxy, for some reason the galaxy is more sharply defined; I'm

Don't panic Raymond, it was slightly cropped to avoid the coma, the galaxy is still receding from us!

Thanks Carl, the detail wasn't too bad considering the circumstances, seeing must have helped me here. Good thing about shooting in the suburbs, you don't need a torch to see where you're going!
