Milky Way widefield Ha

I had a go at shooting widefield with a 28mm Pentax lens on the front of my QHY9 at astrofest recently. This is 7x20min subs around the Cat's Paw/Scorpio.

I'm thinking of having a go at Barnard's ring if the weather allows towards the end of the year with this set up. Lens only cost $20 or so from memory, and seems ok for a bit of widefield fun. It seemed a bit crazy at first shooting NB from such dark skies, but I was there all week and the horizons are so much better than what I have to contend with from home.
