Description

This is my very first attempt at imaging. Unfortunately, the camera battery died after only one single sub.

The camera was a newly purchased (2nd hand EOS 300D). Next time I will do a full check after a charge to ensure the camera will be able to stay alive for the planned session.

It is a single 180 second sub-frame with no darks (due to the battery failure). I messed around in Nebulosity to get the above result. I am buying 2 new batteries and will try again - although I am already hooked.
