My first one

[AustroNoob]

Quick intro: Have received my first scope on thursday and yesterday was the first more or less cloudless sky. Put my Skywatcher 200/1000 into the garden to play around a bit when I realized that I could take some pics

Just quick and dirty without a plan what I'm really doing. Have made around 40 images and a 30 sec. video. This pic is one of the best I've taken. It's unmodified straight out of the cam.

Cam is a Sony Alpha 65, single shot with ISO400 and 1/1000. Yeah I know it's not the common way but I'm pretty proud of it cause its my first one ever

Tons of things to learn but it's worth...

Excellent start!

Isn't it great to have a shot like that and to be able to say that you did it.

Well done! That's a nice shot. Good exposure and some nice shadow detail showing.
