Rho, Antares and Scorpius with the Polarie

This is a single 2 minute exposure with the Canon 5D Mk 2, 50mm lens @ f/2.0, ISO3200. Tracked using the Polarie.

Quite happy with how this turned out for a single exposure. Processed for contrast and saturation, which is obviously my taste at the moment

Worth looking at the large, had to reduce the small version to 600px to get it under 200kb.
- Large

There's some abberations at f/2.0 still, I cropped a little off the left to get rid of some warped stars but they're still evident throughout. The lens would need to be stopped down much more to completely clean them up.

Comments welcome, thanks for looking.
