Widefield Cassiopeia, taken evening of October 17.

Canon 350D, 28mm f/2.8 lens at f/4 piggybacked on SW 120mm 'refractor on EQ-5. Manually tracked.

22 subs totalling 9min 10sec at ISO-800. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, processed in PS CS3.

Cassiopeia lies at the very bottom of the image, with (I believe) M51 and M103 visible.

Very nice Trev. Lovely wide field and the stars are nice and sharp.

there are some "paw-prints" on it, one is on the middle vertical line, one-quarter of the way down. sorry to point it out but I find these artefacts interesting.

No mate, that's the dark matter. Its usually a pig to photograph you know.
