There are a few faint galaxies in the background.

What a great FOV Bert, I like it.

You must be stocked that you worked out that lens, the star images look really nice now huh?

Thanks Mike. I smack myself regularly for being so stupid.

Just shows we should all keep an open mind. It gets harder to do this as you get older.

When the weather gets better I will give the 100ED and SN10 a run and use the same techniques. Dithering is the saviour when using 1600 ISO.
The fridge really helps as well.

I like wide angle images like that Bert.
