my first attempts at imaging
Here are some of my first images i have taken of DSO items. I did not polar align, i simply pointed it roughly south and did a three star align. Due to the poor/non-existant polar alignment i have small star trails within the images. They were all single 15 second exposures with a 8" f/4 newtonian on a Skywatcher eq5 mount with a Canon 1000D DSLR. The images are of Centaurus A and Omega Centauri. If any of the more experienced people here can manipulate the images go ahead. All the images have not been processed. i must say i have been bitten by the astrophotography bug as it is extremely addictive.
cheers
Nathan
