my first wide field piggybacked image

[cal1985]

hi all this is my first wide field image, its of hurcules constallation around m13, i was hoping that maybe i could pick this out as well but dont think i had enough focal lengh, please can you comment on whether i would be able to pick this out and how the image has come out. all critasim welcome and incouraged, this is such a long learning curve all help is most welcome.

the setup used is a canon 300d 35-70mm lens shot at 5.6 aperture 35mm.

exposures were a total of 4. 2min at 100iso. 9 min at 100iso. 5min at 400iso and 3min at 400iso

this was piggybacked on a skywatcher 130/900 eq2 mount with a RA motor.

many thanks all

your first attempts at imaging are really quite good. i've not yet had a go at widefield, having only done dso's, but your image has certainly got me thinking!

cheers

Ive no experiance with astrophotography but to me the first image looks good and the second looks really good, in fact considering thats a first attempt youve convinced me that i might want to have a pop at widefield when im more experienced at using my scope.Im still struggling with getting it out of the box so it might be a while:iamwithstupid:
