Nice field and great colours. Very cool roll over thing on your site.

That's a sweet widefield DSLR image.

50mm lenses are a sweet spot for widefield DSLR astro imaging.

very nice. I like how the main stars pop out - often with widefields they are lost in the background - especially that part of the milky way

Nice job. Thaks for sharing.

How dark was site you took this ?

[rmuhlack (Richard)]

Thanks everyone, very encouraging. I've really been enjoying these sort of wide field shots.

cventer - captured from my place in the outskirts of "suburban" Griffith (population ~25000) in the Riverina. Skies are quite dark here relative to a metro area, and my backyard is protected (mostly) from street lights as well.
