Thanks guys. It surprised me too. Must get it on a mount and stop it down a bit.

But why the distortion in the corners ? Lots of coma / astigmatism in the corners. Is this the objective lens ?
Stopping down to f/2.8 and raising to 40 secs exposure (and tracking) makes better star images in the corners.

Wish I had my gear with me. This was taken with the camera resting on a baseball cap for stability and perched on the windscreen - bonnet of the car

Ignoring the fact that the lens is not designed for this type of work

Yes tracking fstop etc etc would have been great, but not available at the time - missed opportunity.
