WARNING: This image is 1mb in size.

The Milky Way, 2 frame composite. This is not a particularly high quality image, showing considerable distortion in the edge 1/3 of the image resulting from the lens being fully open at F/2.

This is the screw mount lens I used on my Pentax SP1000 for many years doing film Astro Photography. I had since fogotten it needed to be stopped down.

Still relatively happy with the result considering the long drought of photo's prior to this.
Camera:Canon EOS 350D
Lens/Telescope:Pentax Asahi 55mm, F/2
Date:14th July 2007
