Description

I assembled a 200mm fl camera lens/dlsr autguided setup and wanted to see what it could do on lengthy subs. Answer is it can go pretty much as long  as you want Here I ran 4 minute subs and didn't have a bad one in the lot. 

Looking at the results I was also  rather surpised by the number of stars. I always think of this northern region of sky as being comparitively sparse especially in comparison to pretty much anything along the plane of the Milky Way.
