Hi everyone,
I took this photograph back in Nov 2007, and I only recently processed it. It was taken from my house. Sky was clear with sporadic clouds.
Taken using Canon EOS350D, 50mm f1.8, 5 images of 1.6s ISO800. One of my very first widefield astrophotographs.
Comments are welcomed!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments! I did a quick check of the photo with Stellarium and I found a corresponding magnitude 9.95 star.
Yes I'll be going for the Mersing trip so I hope to learn a lot more about astrophotography and image processing. At the moment, I working on making a tracker for my camera. Not sure if it'll be in time for the trip though but I can either try to find a piggyback, or just use other methods! I'd personally very much like to do the Andromeda Galaxy, perhaps a widefield first, but need a tracker for it.
I have a telescope, but it's a very cheap one. Will try to post more photos. Thanks again everyone Hope the skies clear. It's cloudy tonight again.
