My first effort

[GDN]

I log on, work out how to attach an image, and sneaks out before anyone notices.

 

But on a serious note, here is my first  proper effort where I drove to somewhere dark away from the city, I polar aligned using Sharpcap, and used a wired remote to trigger the camera. This is a single image, pretty well straight out of camera, no stacking. I have no idea on how to process this sort of image.  Something else I need to work on. The details are a Canon RP, Sigma 40mm at f2.2, ISO 1600, 90 second single exposure, on a Skywatcher Star Adventurer. The plan was to guide as well, but it was -12 degrees, and I had frost on my laptop, so I gave that idea a miss this time around.

Not bad for a newbie 🤣

Actually, that's smashing especially for a single sub, you should be proud of that!
