Here is 50 minutes I shot earlier this month. I used a 70mm - 200mm f/4
zoom set at 135mm @ f/4.5 with a modified Canon XTi. It appears like I am
starting to pick up the darker nebula that runs through this area.

Joe,

nice picture. Which lens did you use (maker, model)? Stars look very good.

Thanks!, I used a Canon 70mm - 200mm f/4 Zoom. I set it at 135mm and I
stopped it down to f/4.5 to get some spikes around the brightest stars.

Usually you are told to avoid zoom lenses as they just can't cut it.
You are proving that very wrong!
