Testing a new lens

Hi guys, I was out tonight finishing getting focus max working with my scope when I had an idea. I bought a new lens for my dslr overseas and hadn't tried it on the night sky. I put the camera on a tripod and took some 10 second shots wide open at 3200 iso to see what the corners would look like.

The lens is a Nikon 35mm f1.8 and I am surprised at how well it has done here considering it is very cheap. I might put it on the mount and do some tracked photos some time.
