I'm a newbie all over again with my new Pentax DSLR, even though my very first astro photo of the Moon was back in about 1976.
The light pollution here has gone mental with the planting of street lights all around my house. Shooting nebula is difficult, so tonight I tried a Lumicon deep sky filter over the end of a 135mm f2.5 lens at full aperture.
It needs more frames but I'm surprised how much detail was picked up with so little effort.
4 x 2min exposures @ ISO 1600. Full frame warts and all.
