Description

A 5 second preview image to aim my Canon T3i w/50 mm lens; just making sure the bright stars of cygnus looked right.

Taken in May, 2013 - no laptop, just the DSLR piggybacked on my mount.

In addition to verifying my aim, it shows the problems with my lens, and the need to stop it down more (among other things!).
