Hello, new to telescopes and imaging through them.  Picked up some great tips here and wanted to join.  Last night during blue moon, great horned owl gave me jolt.  Swooped down and picked off something or tried 20 -30 feet from me, then just stared at me like I was the odd ball, then started hopping around on the ground, didn't know they could hop.

I have a nex 5se with nex-im color burst, will need to do more reading up on the forum, everything moves so fast.  Look forward to reading up on stuff. Got best pic so far last night, used 2x barlow on nex burst, ran through regx ( really no clue what im doing), then PS.

Any hoot, here it is...post-46204-0-64857700-1438469456_thumb.p

Hi MilwaukeeLion and Welcome to SGL, that is a great shot you have taken with your new 5SE, I also see that "Making Every Photon Count" by Steve Richards has been mentioned, probably the most widely used book, from those just starting out to seasoned forum imagers. Copies are not available through normal retail outlets, but can be had direct here  http://www.skyatnightimages.co.uk enjoy the forum and your Astronomy :)

I love the fact that the owl was unimpressed with you. Also, you should take solace in the fact that a bird hopping on the floor is more of an oddball than a human with a scope... In my humble opinion.

Great image anyways, lovely colours picked up
