Night Horsehead and Andromeda

Horsehead and Andromeda · **7 Likes**

Hello all. I am attaching my first two attempts at DSO with my Orion scope and K5 IIs.

Andromeda was 11x3mins at ISO 400 and 1 dark.
Horsehead was 10x5 mins at ISO 800 and 1 dark.
Scope is an Orion 8" newt on atlas eq-g with Orion star shoot autoguider.
Camera is a Pentax k5 iis
Prime focus with a coma corrector.

That's really cool. I don't do this kind of shooting (live in NYC-too much light pollution where I'm at) so I really like seeing what people produce through astro-photography. Thanks for sharing!

First two attempts. Good heavens (pun intended) I can't wait to see what you can do when you get in a little practice.

What? First two attempts and you've got pictures like the Hubble??? You better hide from NASA if you do not want to work there!

Superb shoot ! I envy your art and technique.

Thanks all! I appreciate the kind words

Excellent images! Makes me want to get an auto-guided setup.

**Sailor** · 12-18-2015, 12:20 PM

Very impressive, as others have said. Lot of hard work in photos like this.
