Description

My first real attempt at deep sky astrophotography using my new Samyang 135mm lens on a star tracking mount. Also my first post on here.

My initial target was only the Orion Nebula, so it was a very happy surprise when the Horsehead Nebula appeared in post processing.

I could notice some slight star trailing as I zoomed in, this might be beacuse my polar alignment was lacking, or perhaps because of some moderately high winds during shooting. 10 dark frames were used for calibration.

Really happy with how this turned out overall considering how I only started learning astrophotography and Photoshop about two weeks ago.
