Cropped a little. Which do you prefer?

Hey Robert, great shot! Did you focus by just looking through the viewfinder of the camera, or are you using some kind of focusing aid? I have a 6" f/4 Newt (home built with old Coulter mirrors). At f/4 coma is more of a problem. I have a Nikon D70, and focusing is tough.

Excellent job! I like the wide field version.
