Description

this is probably the first real astrophotograph i ever took. i dont know the exact date anymore, but it was probably sometime in the fall of 1986 or 1987.

anyway, M8 on (possibly hypered) Tri-X Pan, which i think is ASA400. guided by hand using an off-axis guider, through some kind of reflecting telescope. probably at least a 10 minute exposure.

scanned from negative with a nikon LS-50, edits in lightroom and pixinsight.
