caught these on the 22nd while starhoping, kit super takuma 35/135 lens, 1200d 10x45 sec iso 1600. the moon was showing a lot in the frames so couldnt get the 120sec frames i was after. thanks for looking. clear skys charl.

directions.

before i went star hoping i was trying to get some shots of the Pleiades but it was a cloud magnet.

Nice image. Whenever I see widefields like this, I just have to look for any asteroids present! You've captured at least three: [60] Echo, [259] Aletheia and [317] Roxane.
