Description

So this is not beautiful in the traditional sense, but to me it was the first instance of captured photons I have ever experienced. This was a year ago to the week and since then I’ve been absolutely hooked. 

I won’t be putting a name, capture details or have this platesolved as I don’t want anyone to use this as an example of what a proper image should be. I will just mention the camera and scope for those of you interested enough to read this far; Nexstar 6SE and a Nikon D5000.
