Smile M31

Here's first light from my new digs.
Had to work around the street light, yes a street light, I'm back in the burbs.
Still fairly dark though, you can see m31 naked eye and you can make out the Cygnus Rift, so that's not too bad I guess.
OK,
I used the TOT, Canon 20D and my Sigma 70-300mm lens set at 190mm and F4.5. (cheap as chips this lens $270 I think)
ICNR on.
I had to crop from the rhs of the image as there was/is a nasty smear on the glass that I didn't notice on setup.
Just over 52 minutes of data, 50 second subs.
