'W' Constellation Cassiopeia with a 300D

Hi all, I've tried my hand again at the Constellation Cassiopeia again last night, I used a 50mm Canon ef lens at f3.2, ISO 200, 5 minute exposure, I'm still working on a few stacks, but have'nt got around to them yet, Sorry for the large post, if I posted any smaller, the resolution would make it look c**p I'm still learning, but at least it's better than my last post, little processing, just contrast really, and removal of the green colour because I was using a custom white balance of a 1 second exposure on a sheet of white paper Is this any good?, Have any of you got a good custom white balance setting?

Still, I think i've got it fairly accurate to the way the sky was last night, hope you like it,
Keith..

Lovely photo Keith. Your constellation portraits just keep getting better and better.

Great stuff keith!....exqusite

Great picture Keith.
you also cought the double cluster in Perseus in the left og the image.
Where is the skyglow from?

Thanks Guys, I'm glad you liked it!, Dave, the skyglow is from a few streetlights nearby, blocked by trees, but a passing cloud shows it up

Apart from the double cluster, there's also M103, and I can count at least 3 other NGC star clusters, NGC 7789 to the bottom right, and the loose star cluster above the double called Stock 2! (Ok, I just looked that up)

Can't wait to get going on the milkyway soon, hopefully this weekend
