Description

My first attemps taking images at all. These four images were taken back on 26.02.2020.

It was a freezing cold night and i was standing outside on my balcony, looking like a mountain climber with my thick winter clothes and a russian style cap with ear protection.

I couldn't handle the three star alignment with the stock software of my mount and tried desperately to find at least some objects by manuel orientation by star constellations.

Guiding was too complex for me as well, so i took 60s images with shaky mount tracking only.

Today i'm very happy that i saved these first images..

It has been a long way and there is plenty to learn about astrophotography.
