Description

This is my first atempt at astrophotography. I have owned a telescope for a while now and I am also an avid hobbyist photographer, so naturally I have always wondered what it would be like to photograph the night's sky. Unfortunately the telescope and mount that I own are not suited for this task. 

However, looking around at other people's work, I have found that there is a lot you can do with just a DSLR and good tripod, both of which I already owned. So I decided this spring to give it a try. I have made many mistakes in taking this photo, but for a first try I am quite pleased with it. It has, for sure, got me hooked to this part of photography and I shall try my hand at more photos in the future.
