Description

I have a small 35mm f/1.7 lens for my Sony camera. It has a C-mount so it natively fits into the ALCCD! Since it was bitter cold and I didn't want to go out, I set up everything on my balcony in the ultra light polluted city center of Stuttgart. After a few minutes I was ready to capture my first DSO! I set the aperture to roughly f/4 to get sharper stars. Since I have no direct sight to the north, I took many short exposures, because I was not able to polar align my Star Adventurer.
