Practicing with my Star Adventurer

[DocBobalot]

Since I picked up my Star Adventurer, I've only had a few nights to practice. I've just really been trying to get the setup working, polar alignment sorted etc. 

Last night I looked at a group of pics I took a the back of my garden last month, played around with them, and got this.

I'm new at astrophotography and honestly never thought I'd be able to get anything like this.

(Fuji X-T30, 24 x 60s lights, ISO 800, 18-55mm lens @ 55mm, f5)

Nice! The SA is a great lightweight mount. Keep going!

Great work! Double cluster in the middle, Heart and Soul nebula to the left, I think M103 near the top... with a few more there too in that wide field shot!

Very nice image of a lovely part of the sky! 🙂

Very good image BTW 👍

Thanks all. There's a lot to learn, most of which is patience at the moment, waiting for the clouds to go
