My first pic with my new telescope

[StargeezerTim]

Hi All,

This is my first decent pic taken the first time I got my scope and mount unpacked and working (skywatcher150pds and eq5pro). I pointed at orion nebula and exposed for two minutes at iso 400 with my canon eos550 9with x2 barlow). I was delighted with it and amazed at how the camera picks up colours that are invisible to the naked eye or telescope.

I am a newbie to this and know that as i get better with alignment etc I will get sharper results, but this has given me encouragement!

Tim.
