My first astro photo

Post by cataclysm »

Hi all, this is my first attempt on astrophotography. Its the famous dumbbell nebula in vulpecula. Far from the best you guys would have seen but my is my first none the less. Just wanting to share, comments are most welcome to help me improves.
This is a composit of 25x30s exposure at ISO1600 taken at prime focus through my Mewlon 210 and 350D. The telescope mount is Losmandy GM8 and the pictures were stacked and processed with ImagesPlus software.

Hi
There is a size limit for images, so make sure you do no exceed it.
Or you can place your image in the album and link to it instead.

Hi Catyclysm,

If you add your photo to the albums and then put the link here, people can give their comments and ratings there.

Cheers,
Chris
