What's your first?

It would be a shame if ol' Betel explodes; surely, having it around for a while is worth more than a short post-supernova spectacular?

Here's my first image of M33. I was feeling brave that night so this is my first time with 10mins subs - 3hrs in total. I feel it also really benefited just over an hour of darks. Two lessons learnt: get as much data as possible; darks really help with noise

Pure class there fella, really nice job. Does the colour match your anorak ?

sorry, i think i've cheated. its the same night (i think) but a 2nd attempt at processing. this was the first attempt at processing

hi ian and thanks. getting focus was just a matter of take a short sub, check it. repeat too mant times to remember until i was happy. As for the skies, I kinda cheated, I was in Australia at the time.

my first attempt. canon 1100d on camera tripod 18mm-55mm lens set to 18mm. i think it was september this year. can't remember how many subs/darks. more a bunch of dso's than any particular one. i've still got a lot to learn about processing.

great thread. thanks for starting it john, looking forward to putting it into practice.

I ordered an e.p. from them at 10.30 am yesterday and recieved it 10.20 today. less than 24 hrs, can't be bad
