Antares region with 85mm lens

[Lester]

Hi all, shot this while the Astrograph was trying for comet Panstarrs (with no luck). This is 38x2 minute exposures with 85mm f1.2 lens at f2 and 20Da at ISO 800.

My favourite. Always a joy. Wide field is best.

Very nice Lester,
That's a great piece of sky out there, I shot that with a 135mm a couple of months back at SVAA club night but it was just single frame, this shot of yours is what wide field is all about.

Thanks for showing it.

Thanks Ross. All the best.
