Let's see your 1st DSOs
in Imaging - Deep Sky

Cheers from Finland again,
Don't know if this qualifies as a DSO, but this is my very first attemp at getting a comet imaged. This image from last October of comet Hartley. It's a stack of 8 15sec ISO800 exposures at f2.5 taken with a Canon A530 mounted on top of my AstroMaster 130. The comet is located left and down from Mirfak near the star HIP17963.
The first real DSO I tried was with a Canon 1000D the target was the Great Nebula in Orion. The tracking was was wayyy off. But we were talking about first tries ... right
Taking the first images has really been a great adventure and it still continues. Working with an AstroMaster 130 on a CG-3 mount everything seems a challenge, but the challenges are more than welcome.
