As a denizen of the beginners' forum I wouldn't normally post my puny
efforts here, but when it was mentioned here that there is art in astro imaging I thought I would post this to illustrate how different the same
object can look. Mine was taken with an unmodded 1100D . Total of 25 mins. at ISO 3200, unguided. 8" f/5 Newt.
I am not in ANY way comparing the quality of my image with Hugh's
stunning work.
