Almost forgot that I took this widefield target on the recent Mersing trip. I just left the setup in it's "auto" mode, which actually mean the camera was just clicking away while tracking on the GPD mount, while I was busy with the other imaging system. A lots of wasted shots as a result due to passing clouds, but still managed to gather sufficient subs for this final assemblage.
Imaged with: Vixen GPD, Modified Canon 350D, Canon 24-105mm EFL @ 28mm, F5.6, 16x3min @ ISO800

This part of the sky will be in its full glory by May to June under Mersing's sky!

Hi folks, here is another widefield shot, of Crux & Eta Carina. Again it's affected by severe gradient from clouds and light pollution from Mersing town.
