These are my very first astrophotos with my Canon 60D and ED127.
All stacked with DSS
Moon - 5 shots at ISO100, cropped with Picasa
NGC4755 - 8 shots, each 15 secs at ISO 800
NGC6231 - 9 shots, each 15 secs at ISO 800
Manual focusing
No darks, no flats, just lights.
Might not be world class yet, but I am just rapped that I got results on the first night.
I'm sticking to the easy stuff first, bright clusters and the moon.
Stephan, actually your image is up the right way - it's mine that it upside down. I used a refractor which shows its image upside down. On your photo if you are facing west then the setting sun is to the bottom of the picture, hence the lower part of the moon is lit. On mine I was facing west, but the upper portion of the moon it lit - hence upside down. In the end it doesn't matter, just flip the image and either is right.
PS the moon was photoed (is there such a word) on 22/9/12 from Melbourne.
That's a cool shot of the moon I really like it, as above very good contrast plus I just like looking a photos of the moon.
