The stars look sharp and plenty of them. What camera and lens, tracking? Nice shot.

I have a T4i and I was using the Sigma 30mm f1.4

I did not use any tracking actually I even forgot my tripod that night I was using the hood of my car and a reflector belt (I'm in the military...there standard issue haha)

Thank you! This is really my first stab at this Astro thing haha so your comment means a lot!

Good capture. You have coma in the corners.. stopping down the lens by a stop or so will fix that.. have you corrected for vignetting. DPP will allow that.

I looked at your histogram, and it looks perfect, nice hump on the left with the zero point set to the left of the hump.. good.

Next.. more shots plus stacking.
