Well, since I was out side, around 11 last night, experimenting shooting fog in dark conditions, I seen a sucker hole so I pointed the camera (30D with 24mm f/2.8 lens) up to Cassiopeia and took a 30sec shot.

Its not much, but being with out a mount, Im glad to just shoot something :)

Its a hair over the size limit, so here is a link http://home.comcast.net/~slitherjef/astrophoto/cass.jpg

Nice shot, it's one of my favourite and most noticeable of all constellations. I like that you got the Double Cluster, and some of Perseus, and also M31, the Andromeda Galaxy!
