WHo needs guiding if you can get this much data with 30 seconds subs - nice work Gina

Showing good detail on the dense regions. The stars seem to be a bit better in this one, did you stop the lens down at all Gina?

Very interesting... Cracking FOV and great news for mobile or time limited imagers, I think.

Thank you Knight and Olly - yes I'm quite pleased with this one   But no still at full aperture of f 2.5.  Apart from not needing guiding, another benefit is that when there are clouds but clear patches of sky you can catch some good images between clouds.
