This image was taken from a dark sky site, suing the Canon EOS 350D on a fixed tripod (that's right, absolutely no tracking platform or telescope mount). At 1600ASA and 30 second exposures in the dark conditions good exposure detail could be achieved.
At 30 seconds and 21mm very slight trailing is visible at 100% view of the original images. This is not detectable in the small version here.
The field rotation and other movements between images are comphensated for by registeri

The field rotation and other movements between images are comphensated for by registering (aligning) the images using RegiStar.
It is interesting to compare this 20 second dark sky image to a 5 minute tracked exposure from light polluted skies.
Mmm, easy astro photography: No setup time, no setup of telescope or telescope mount, I could get used to this...
