Ursa Major

[StaceStar]

I've never done any wide field before, but after wearing myself out with many late nights I was feeling too tired to drag the imaging rig out last night!

I decided to just use a static tripod, my canon 200d with 18-55mm kit lens and a remote shutter.

I stacked 85 shots of 16s at Iso1600. Stacked with deep sky stacker and edited with star tools

Nice widefield image of this constellation. Good star colour, and no tracking artefacts with these short exposures. If you have the possibility to shoot more light frames, you could even reveal a few galaxies in this image.

Thanks for sharing

I can just see the core of M101. Good image.

I couldn't either at first till someone pointed it out

I did see that and thought possibly it. Wasn't 100% sure though.
