I know it’s not great, but here’s my first pic with my first scope (Quattro 8”, Skywatcher AZEQ Mount, ASI294 MC Pro).. look forward to getting better!!

Well done Phil, and a really worthy first target too. Welcome to the steep learning curve of astrophotography lol. Such a great hobby to have.

Well done Phil. There’s nothing like the buzz of that first photo. Welcome to the journey!

Good one, Phil.

I hope you get many more on the journey!

Phil,
I can sense your enthusiasm - it’s an enthralling hobby that will most certainly bring the best of effort (and your patience!). You have an excellent scope to begin with which is perfect for capturing the full range of targets including planetary.
Can you mention some detail around the exposure and integration time for this image?
It will help with making constructive comments that members may help you with along the way.
Cheers
Anth:)

I'm just starting out and would be happy with your result!
I have a Celestron CS8 and advanced GT mount, ZWO ASI294MC, ZWO EAF, ASIair mini. Currently doing alignments etc. A whole new world!
