Description

I've been wanting to image the sky around Sadr. There is a lot of nice nebulosity in this part of the

sky. It would have been better to wait until a Moonless night but I am impatient and I've not

had a lot of nights with a clear sky this year. I can't complain if I don't take advantage of a

clear sky, Moon or no Moon. I have the same attitude with astro imaging as I do with fishing.

I don't fish when the fish are biting. I fish when I can fish. My light frames (light frames is

a perfect description of what I had to work with) were so bright and washed out that I could

barely see stars. I'm tickled that I got an image at all considering what I had to work with.

I'm fairly certain that if I can do this again without a Moon I will get better results. I will also

have more options when comes to the iso setting and exposure time. With all of that said

please enjoy my first image of Sadr and vicinity.
