Just messing about really, but i liked this one... Im just hoping TCampell will tell me what i have in mine! Googled the Hercules cluster. That's something else!You essentially captured the same part of the sky, but with a lower focal length lens - so you have a larger area of sky in your image.  Image hosted by forum (806924) © TCampbell [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff. The globular cluster M3 and M5 are both in your image. M3 is probably behind the clouds, but I actually do *see* M5 in the image. M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, is also in your image but appears to be obstructed by clouds. M13, the Hercules cluster, is just a bit outside the frame (off the top edge.) If you point your camera to the North-East at around 11pm (or later) and you have reasonably dark skies then you should *easily* be able to image the Andromeda Galaxy. Andromeda is huge -- not just in the sense that it's bigger than our own galaxy -- but also in the sense of how much of the sky it occupies. It's about 3º wide. The full-moon is about 1/2º wide. That makes the Andromeda galaxy roughly 6x wider than the width of the full moon!
