Description

Taken with my Lumix G7 micro four thirds camera, 300mm lens (600mm 35mm equivalent), piggybacked on a Celestron Nexstar Evolution 6 SCT for tracking.

I've been dabbling in AP for about 6 months now with this equipment and have improved quite a bit (I think!), especially by learning so much from sites like this. I think I'm now seeing the limitations of what I'm using so I'm planning the next steps in gear acquisition, probably upgrading to a decent equatorial mount and dedicated AP camera.
