First image? How about this one.  This is Sirius, taken a while back. It was twinkling like crazy and I deliberately moved the camera a lot to capture the colors in the twinkle. I just thought it was interesting.

Here's mine, on an Orion XT6, afocal, holding the camera up to the 25mm eyepiece. I wish the moons would have come out a little better, but hey, first attempt right?

OK, certainly not my first ever, but certainly my first through my new C8 on German mount. Taken through a GSO 42mm eyepiece with a Samsung HZ15W camera. This camera is great for telescope mounting because it has full manual controls and manual focusing, and no shutter vibrations! Also has a great self timer where it takes on shot ten seconds after the shutter is released and then a second about 4 seconds later. The GSO eyepiece is very flat and sharp across the field and has very little distortion (tested on newspaper). I have been very impressed with the quality, especially for the low cost.
Seeing was probably only about a 6-7 last night, but it still yielded a couple good shots of the moon and even 1 decent shot of Jupiter and moons (not yet pp'd).

Here is my very first-light astrophoto attempt.
Orion nebula, using Meade DSI2 on a C11 in alt-az
It taught me two things:
1/ The default collimation of my OTA is way off
2/ I'll need a focal reducer for wider angle imaging
This was 12 second single exposure, with everything set to Auto.

After a rough collimation, the image improved considerably on this mornings second attempt at the same settings.

This is my first true astrophoto. This is a single 9 minute exposure through an 8" LX50 OTA on an LXD75 mount, Camera Canon XS/1000D. I used off-axis guiding with a DSI1 camera and PHD guide

I remember seeing this convergence earlier this year. Was an amazing sight. I wish I had my scope at the time it happened so I could have taken a closer look

Moon pics tend to get a bit repetative, but this one was done very artistically. Great job
