Hoilday Widefields

It's been quite a while since I posted an image here, hopefully these will cut it though. Taken with my modified Canon 1000D and EF 50mm lens @ f3.5 from a Vixen Sphinx mount last week in the Aveyron region of France, a place with apparently not one flat surface.

33 x 5 minutes, the only uninterrupted night I had.

Cassiopeia by tmarkuk, on Flickr

14 x 4 minutes, a cloudy and annoying evening, the framing is a bit off but nevermind.

9 x 5 minutes, not great but OK, the clouds didn't clear till gone midnight and my southern horizon wasn't great. This is salvaged from the ruins of dodgy data.
