Description

I have been working on getting better at wide fields using my admittedly mediocre lens - after some random attempts to autofocus on a distant streetlight I managed to get the stars into focus when fully zoomed out. This is probably the easiest type of imaging I can currently do - I don't bother to set up any equipment until after last quarter but letting the camera sit on the back deck is fairly simple.

I'm not certain what is causing the abberation in the lower left near the Double Cluster - I am uncertain as to whether an 18-55mm kit lens can be collimated, so its probably just something I will have to deal with until I can upgrade.
