my first ever image of anything

[shamba504424]

Hello,finally got some sun here in Lancashire and went out with my Lunt ls60 that I have been trying to get used to getting into focus etc. and had my first WOW moment today when I got a view of a prominence at around 11 in terms of a clock face,was so excited so got camera and laptop set up and took my first ever image using my ZWO120MC-S camera,was trying to get the prominence but was struggling to focus with the wind blowing,a towel over my head so that I could see the screen and keep the sun in the frame in SharpCap,anyway started a capture and this is the result,very poor I know but at least I have actually dipped my toe in the water and it feels wonderful,looking forward to making a gradual progression and showing some of the amazing images that you guys produce.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated

Love it. The last few months the neighbors have regularly seen me outside with my head in a box and a black sheet over my head. If only they could see what we can see! Keep up the great work.
