Milky way- 1st try

Hi all,

This is my first post with an image.

I went to The Briars (thanks, Dave) and took some short exposure shots and stacked them.

Target: nothing in particular, just pointed up.
Camera: D80
Tripod: Velbon 250R
Lens: 18-200, set to 18mm (28mm equivalent in 35mm)
ISO: 800
Nikon in-camera Noise reduction (High setting)- no darks taken.
10 x 13s exposures untracked at f3.5
DeepSkyStacker used for registration and stacking (first go at it, so...)

Processed in Photoshop CS3
I am not that adept at Photoshop but thought I would post anyway.

small amount of trailing in the bottom left corner and perhaps the stars are a little bit out of focus? or is that an artifact of the registration and stacking...

a long way to go but I have to start somewhere.

cheers,
DJDD
