Pleiades and Jupiter, still learning and still experimenting sooner or later that perfect picture will be mine. Not bad for an hours work. A cloud bank rolled in so it limited my scope time tonight. It is that time of year where I will be battling the elements.
The top shot is Mizar in the bend of the Big Dipper. I used this shot as a moderate challenge for any astrophotographer. Its also simple to locate and easy to setup to from my driveway. The bottom photo is the camera atop my scope in place of the guidescope.
The top shot was an 8 second exposure, max for my camera of the eastern skies at 10:15pm. The moon shot was parafocal camera to 25mm Plossel on my Orion 120St at about 1/125th of a second at ISO 400
