Wow! For a first attempt that is STUNNING! Excellent work!

I can't wait to see your future stuff!

Where abouts in Sydney are you?

[Darrell]

thanks,i am just learning it all (my first scope).the full 12MP photo is pretty special looking

probally one of the worst areas for photos, newtown.
i have no view below 30degree and nothing from NW to S unless its very high in the sky and a streetlight 5M from back yard.hardly ideal conditions.

at least ill get to drag my gear to true dark sky (deniliquin) in a few weeks for 2 weeks.last time i was there i had my scope for 3 months and there was so many stars i couldnt find what i needed to star align haha

[Darrell]

i think MICE is better :lol:

Darrell

I lived in Newtown for 10 years before travelling all over the country through work.

That's not an astro-friendly part of the world.

You've done well:thumbsup:

yup not astro friendly,but it is easy to see if viewing is good.if i look up and see more than the main stars then its time to get the scope out :lol:

my first moon was by far not so beautiful,
but it has been 50 years ago with an old bino...

go on strightaway Darrel!

What can I say that the others haven't? Wonderful first attempt, especially considering your location.
