Howdy.
This is my first best result for a deep sky image. I was pretty happy with it.
Taken through an Orion 80ST with a DSI Pro 2 in L only, guided with an LXD55 SN10 & DSI Colour, using Meade Envisage.
(I had to reduce the size of the image considerably to get it in under the limit.)

Thats a pretty good effort for a first attempt at deep sky imaging, keep at it, and there will be no stopping you.

That sure is a pretty good start. With a first image like that you will enjoy the dark moonless skies coming up and should produce some great images.
One word of advice, Start with the easy ones and work up to some of the dimmer ones when you are realy happy with your last attempt.

I have a new camera and am right back at the start again.

Keep it up and post a lot. The criteque will only help. (I know I can't spell OK)
