Some wide angle shots

I had a windy Friday night about a week ago, so decided to piggy back my 350D. I set up the exposures (10min subs) and let things rip---no guiding was done. Here are some of the results

Hi Geoff, its basically a newtonian but totally designed for DSLR imaging to give 100% illumination from corner to corner so no vignetting and no flats required. Made everything except the tube. Great learning experience!

The 1st image seems to have focus a bit off, but the others are great!!!
