Description

Camera: Nikon D7100

Lens: AF-S Nikkor 70-300mm

Mount: Orion EQ-1

Focal Length: 300mm

Aperture: f/5.6

Exposure: 3' (Stacked 6x 30'')

ISO: 1000

Frames

Light: 6

Dark: 10

Bias: 10

Flat: 0

Light Pollution: Pretty bad, as I live in a city.

Notes: After many relatively bad attempts (due to lack of gear), this is my first proper attempt at astrophotography. It is also first time I used tracking. I used the equatorial mount of Konusmotor 500 telescope and had some gear skipping issues so the image is slightly blurred (I had to discard 14 frames because of this).
