Cygnus area, 50mm Sony A57

[Bobby1970]

While the AZGTI was doing its thing with my scope on the Pacman nebula i set the star adventurer going with my A57 and an old 50mm Minolta f1.7 lens @f2.5 in the Cygnus area. 

Captured around 1hr 8mins worth of 30s subs at 800iso, captured darks and flats also.

Stacked in DSS and processed in Startools, Topaz and paint.net

I think i have captured a few objects in this frame.

Thanks for looking

Very nice

How long were the subs?

Very nice, even a clear sky is full of clouds.

I think I should have stopped the lens down a bit more. Might try at f4 or higher next time.

It is not obvious the lens needs stopping down further, what are you seeing on the full sized image?

I was hoping for some more sharpness in general tbh. It's come out ok don't get me wrong. The lens is a well regarded 50mmlens but I'm sure I read something years back about it being sharper from f4 upwards. But forgot when I captured this image. Lol.
