I thought I should post these in here..
I finally got a new DSLR after I ruined my old 400D. I stuck with canon in the end despite my love for Nikon, and ended up with a 550D. I don't have a telescope so I have to make do, I took a few shots when I got home tonight but there was some cloud coming in..

If you have any tips how I could make these better, maybe get the same brightness without the grain that would be great.
