Thought I'd try out my new digital camera by pointing it up the end of my lowly 40mm refractor one night (zoom: telescope 60x, camera 4x).
What you see is the result of cropping and stacking 5 images (0.5 sec exposure each).
I think I'm getting hooked on this astrophotography thing. Must get a bigger scope. I NEED more photons dammit .......
