While I waited for Orion to ship my scope to Germany, I spent everyday reading and reading and some more reading on astrophotography. I was excited to see something like this, which I stumbled upon accident. Now I don't want to stop! This is a 20 second exposure @ ISO 1600, unguided Post Extras:       Glen member Reged: 09/22/05 Loc: Mount Juliet, TN Re: Newbie Corner - Post your first astrophoto!

Didn't spend much time on it since the moon was out (and most of the evening was spent figuring out the mount). Stack of (1)10sec, (1)20sec, and (3)30sec. Unguided. Cropped.
