Do star trails count?
Hi all,
I started "astrophotography" about 15 years ago (when I first got an SLR), doing star trail shots. One of the very first I did was of Orion from a dark sky site at Bundjalung National Park, and when I went back and scanned it years later I realized that I'd imaged Barnard's Loop. Didn't even know what Barnard's Loop was at the time I took the photo! Anyway, I ended up getting it published in Aust Sky and Telescope, which was a bit surprising for a first go!
I've only started "real" astrophotography in the last month, mucking around with digital cameras held up to the eyepiece of my 130mm newt. And I need a LOT of improvement before I'll consider submitting these to a magazine!!!
Cheers,
Stephen
