Hi guys.

On the Thursday night at Lostock, I took some widefield images with my camera on a tripod, on top of my EQ platform.

This is the first of the lot, others are coming but they are still being processed.

- Canon EOS350D with 18-55mm Lens @ 18mm f/3.5
- Single 90 second exposure @ ISO800

Dew was a problem and the lens kept dewing up! Had to hit it with the hairdryer inbetween shots!

This shot is of the crux/carina region and has been cropped/resized for forum.

Many thanks to Rocket Boy who is helping me with the processing of these.

The sky is so dark at lostock! Even with 90+ second exposures there was just no skyglow!

More to come next week.
