Milky Way in Cygnus - wide field

Taken with a rather awful 28mm lens I bought 30 years ago. (I have a better - though just as old - 28mm but the adapter required for it is jammed on another lens!)

 

9 x 4-minute exposures at f/4 and ISO 1600, registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker software.

 

Unmodified EOS 40D, piggybacked on a Celestron C8 telescope for tracking. Not guided, due to the short focal length employed.
