First light with new lens

[Beyond_Vision]

Santa arrived early leaving me a new Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens. Although conditions were not ideal I decided to take a few static shots to check out its field of view on my Canon 400D.

Orion poking through the clouds, exposure 30s @ISO 800, lens set to 10mm.

Ta Kev. I think my widest lens goes to 18mm, but its an AF one and manual focus is rubbish. Good excuse to get on E-Bay.

I like them a lot, but I've had enough annotating for one evening!

I like the Orion with M45 clearly shown, Clear as a bell
