City Cassiopeia

Today's Cassiopeia panorama (my first successful panorama at all). Of course, there is no MW on it, it's city.
Thanks only to clouds, without them image would be duller.

Hi Pupkin,
Nice shot under extremely difficult conditions. What lense did you use and was this image guided? If not your polar alignment is superb, and your focus is also spot on. I normally hate clouds, but in this case I kind of like the effect the clouds have had on this image, the mottled illumination gives it a very artistic look. Your blending of the different frames is also pretty good for a first try, you have to look really hard to see the joins, so good job. There is a couple of dust spots on your lense or sensor that if you wanted to you could remove with flat frames, but other than that, it's quite a pleasing image. Well done.

Thanks.

I see, I really should take photos with wonder-working white sheet of paper.
No guiding, nothing to do it.
