A slight return - The keystone

[Alestrom]

Hello everyone.

I've not been on the forum for about a month now, what with college work commitments and other things. The are certainly some impressive images from this week's POW, such as Psychobilly's Cygnus and Greekastronmy's M5, not to mention the winning pic...

Anyway last night was my first astronomy related activity for some time apart from the odd binocular session. Planned to do some widefield camera lens shots as I didn't have too much time. Typically, the clouds came in just as I was set up, so I only grabbed this one image - I had intended to take a few subs of this area and stack them but oh well, this was a test shot but it's ended up as the finished result!

Canon 18 - 55mm kit lens (the non-IS one)

Focal length about 40mm

1x30 sec exposure at ISO800 & F5

Hope it's not too bad...

Looking forward to some free time in a month or so, clear skies to all
