First widefield

Here is my first attempt at a widefield shot. Area covers Crux, Coalsack, Beta Cent and Musca.

15x30sec lights, 4x 30 sec darks, unguided with 400d and Canon 50mm 1.8 lense piggybacked on scope on eq2 mount. Stacked in DSS with some tweking in PS Elements.
Main purpose of tweaking was to see if I could get the Dark Doodad in Musca to become visible, and there it is just above Gamma Mus

Yes you're right, better have another go!
Try again, I think I hit wrong button somewhere.
