Lagoon and trifid wide field

Feeling confident with the polar alignment, I've dived straight to 200mm with my ultra budget setup.

Even though the tri-pod legs on the no-name eq-mount have now been filled with builders foam to reduce vibrations the occasional breeze only allowed seven of the twenty or so exposures usable.

7 frames at iso800 and f2.8 for 2 minutes + darks
And I've managed to take a flat which makes a huge difference!!!

Stacked in DSS and minimal processing in Photoshop.

Comments and advice always welcome
