Widefield Sagittarius

Dear All
This shot is my first attempt at a wide field guided shot.
It is taken with a pentax 645 with a 80-160 zoom set at 130mm. I had it perched on the top of my VC200l looking down the empty tube rings that usually have my 120mm guide scope. I didn't realise at the time but the rings have caused some vignetting. It was guided using a Qguide for about 30 minutes. Film was Fuji pro400- and to prove it is film I have left the data imprint on the side.
The scanned negative at only 2400dpi still produced a hefty 65meg tiff file. You got to love these big negs.
North is to the right and east is up.
