It was a nice calm, quite, and not too cold night. Three of us set up for observing and imaging for a few hours. I tried my 70mm f/2.8 (not an APO though) to see how it would do. It had some CA but it certainly is fast compared to the lenses I normally use. The following is a very bright portion of the Milkyway (including a number of Messier objects). The image has been drastically reduced and compressed.
UPDATE: reposted image – with a little less saturation…
