Last Attempts at Astrophotography with Panasonic LZ7 (Hopefully)

[LostNSpace]

Hi All

Well these 2 pics are a far cry from my 1st 2 attempts at astrophotography. And probably the best 2 out of hundreds i have taken yet but i think i have reached the limit with the Panasonic LZ7 now. I have been waiting patiently for the accessories to arrive so i can get to use my modded 350D, and after the clear night we have just had made me wish they had turned up yesterday morning, but didnt receive a thing, so decided to go out one last time with my current camera and worked on taking pics with a 60sec exp.

Heres the results

Nice widefield shots Mark,

I hope you don't mind but I had a go at removing the light pollution from the first one:

Thanks Sam and not a prob with working on pic. Im still playing around with different software to get the right effects in the pics although im guessing with a pic taken like that all that is needed is a little contrast. Im learning slowly.
