My best image yet! Too bad the tree is there, I might have gotten a mini dumbell nebula. I think this is a great picture for my sky conditions here in Albany, NY

Nice widefield Ingo, you've managed to get the milky way to show up despite the skyglow and everything is nice and sharp.

Well done.

Yep, M39 is down there, M29 is somewhere up there. Overall probably my best astro pic yet.

Thanks

You are improving with every shot....

much more detail showing all the time and plenty of stars...I see that pesky tree is still following you around..
cheers
