Going deep space like I am almost at nirvana. That place I have been seeking. 3 minute exposure ISO 800 18 mm wide angle, guided. Jupiter just a great target. Now like a hunter I need to hone and sharpen my skills. I would like to spend more time so I need to find that perfect evening where I do not have morning obligations. It will be a fun ride. Now to plan the hunt.

Ok last night have new adapter and experimenting with lenses and exposures. Top photo is the belt of Orion and the horsehead nebula a 3.2 second exposure on my new Canon T3 with my B&L lense operating at 500mm at f/10 ISO 6400. The Bottom is same equipment at ISO 1600 1/30 second exposure. I am still waiting on my drive corrector and I have yet to use my DSLR adapter. Its kinda heavy but I am happy with it it appears to be built solid. So I have some experimenting to do.
