Hi.... 2nd time posting on Singastro for me

So a couple of nights back I was out and collected two of my best images so far, one of Jupiter and one of the Orion nebula... Here they are, give me your thoughts...

Jupiter was shot through using the NexImage and orion nebula was using an unmodified D5000 and LPR (42x20s)
Both through a C8 and CG-5 mount

By the way, know of anyone else on singastro around my age? That would be fun

Hi,
Nice photos! My previous telescope (4.5") will not show to such extent... [smilie=admire.gif]

Nice image of Jupiter!
For Orion, try to bring the levels down so it does not look over-exposed. The contrast will look better too. [smilie=cute.gif]
