1st time i'm zooming in to shoot M7. ;p

btw, my friend used a more insanely ISO of 25600 for M7 on 450mm(DX-mode). helped him watermarked his photo.

was trying for the NGC 6888(maybe too overly ambitious & a little less light-subs), but pointed the lens abit off the target & got the Cooling Tower(near center bottom) instead...
Unguided, 300mm/f4(DX-mode), ISO 12800, 1 secs x54

1st time using the Astrotrac, a few hours ago... Guess the Moon do have some impact on the photo.

85/f1.4 stopped down to f/2.0 on ISO1000
Stack of 19 at 25secs each

Definitely a BIG improvement from my 1st Orion shot on page 3.

**Also saw a bright meteor dashing from Orion towards Canis Major at about 0425hrs.
