Astonishing results, viewers need to open up the image to fully appreciate this. I didn't realise that fairly standard DSLR gear can obtain this quality.

8 times a 110s image stacked afterwards. It was mounted on an Astrtrac http://www.astrotrac.com/ . The lens used is the 135mm 1:2 L.

Nice Photo! What kind of telescope? Stacked images, or did it track that good for 15 minutes?
