...another Cassiopeia widefield

[c3po]

hi all, thought I'd share a wide field of mine captured on Saturday night (13 Oct) It's another Cassiopeia widefield - is it me or are there loads of us imaging this constellation recently? Shot with my Sony Alpha 200, Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 lens @ 50mm wide open, ISO 800. IIRC it's total of 65 x 20 second lights, 60x 20sec darks and 20x 1/4000sec bias all stacked with DSS and post-processed in PhotoShop CS4. Solved by Astrometry with the following details:

(RA, Dec) center:(19.3779150171, 61.1835725999) degrees

(RA, Dec) center (H:M:S, D:M:S):(01:17:30.700, +61:11:0.861)

Orientation:158.33 deg E of N

Pixel scale:44.52 arcsec/pixel

Parity:Reverse ("Left-handed")

Field size :25.33 x 16.30 degrees

If you think there's more data to pull out, or would like to have a go, I have the raw TIFF file saved from DSS uploaded to my DropBox and can post a link if you want to have a go with it.
