With only 30 minutes of total exposure time this is not quite as good as Rob
Gendler's recent 30 *hour* exposure image!!

Image taken with an SBIG STL-1301E camera thru an OGS 20-inch RC Cass
working at F/5.3 (using my home-made focal reducer). The field of view is
about 19.5x25 arc minutes with North at the top.

You just missed a really weird galaxy east (left) out of frame. Its
very odd. I'll have it in my shot when I finally finish playing with it.
