Hi,
I had a go at capturing some widefield images 2 nights ago, and this was taken at John's place at Kinglake, Vic with a Canon 1000d and the 28mm Lens on an EQ6.
Single 3 min Sub. ISO 800, just some levels corrected in Gimp. no LP filter. Skies are pretty dark out there.
I don't have a wide angle lens so I might attempt a mosaic with longer exposures next time, but I'm pretty pleased with how its turned out. all other frames had partial clouds in them, this one does as well.
Would anyone know if the blue stars on top are due to the CA in the lens or are they actually blue?
