Hi,
More trying to get my mount right took some images half of Vela constellation, As it is so full of stars and dust and quite possible loads of light pollution I included an inverted view to locate the stars.
Used a new technique on getting colours best I could.
These images are just the start of wide-field imaging and last night was just a test to align the mount. As I get more experienced i hope to take clearer shots and replace these ones.
I think the stars a little out of focus but wide-field hides it reasonably.
