Finally made the leap into astrophotography!

Thats a fine image!
Especially considering it's starter stuff.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Tomo,

The attachment is only 7kb so it's tiny. Can you upload a bigger version?

Gulp............... well here goes my first astro post....................

I had my very first attempt at astro photography recently. I used my trusty 200mm reflector on a CG5 mount. I used the ubiquitous Neximage webcam to record the video and then Registax 5 to layer and sharpen the image. Finally, I used Photoshop to put on the text (for copyright purposes you understand - I don’t want anyone else claiming they own the moon after all :laugh: ).

I hope you can give me some pointers for what to do next, please?

Phew, that wasn’t so hard after all !!

The system didnt accept the bmp. so I attach a jpeg instead !:blush:

Excellent start and very well done with the focus and exposure.
The Moon makes a great model...
