Default ASTRO: wide-field - Lyra, Draco, Hercules

A 4.5 minute exposure with a Canon Rebel DSLR and 28-200mm lens. There was
nothing too exciting in this image so I thought I'd 'improve' it a little by
adding the constellation lines.

Unfortunately this image lost a lot when I compressed it for posting. The
original is better.

Excellent George. That Vega sure is a big one. I read somewhere that it
was oval shaped because it spins so fast. Clear Skyz, LA

Main problem with JPEG I have is it fades the colors. If I boost the
saturation to about 1.35 in Elements it looks awful but then when
converted to a JPEG it comes out about right. Just remember not to do
that to the original!
