Wide field image of the Antares region

My wide field image of the Antares region was taken  with my 50mm Ganon prime lens at f/2.8. The lens was mounted on my 1300D DSLR Canon camera and mounted on a Star Adventure 2i pro tracking  mount. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star. Settings were 1 min at 800ISO. 50 images and 20 dark frames, were stacked in DSS and edited in Siril and Gimp 2.10 with star reduction. The images were taken under Bortle 3 skies in Falls Bay Gower.
