Hello everyone... new to this forum and wanted to share my first processed astrophoto with my Sony DSLR...   

Sony A6300 DSLR - 18-200 Lens 

I have recently purchased a few pieces like an ES 127ED, Orion Atlas Mount, guidescope and SSAG, and a Canon 6D camera.  Any help and advice is appreciated.  Thanks.

Welcome!

Nice image - very evocative.

The advice everyone gives (and gets) is read this book:

Enjoy and looking forward to seeing more images from your equipment.

Yes, I screwed up the moon trying to work on the start but it's the same single image.

What a beautiful image. Very 'moody'. I like it.

Beautiful colours and stars. What did you use for post processing?
