Description

This is my first ever shot with a telescope and mount. I had taken my first two images last year with the star adventurer and immediately got the bug and wanted more. I only get the opportunity to shoot two or three times a year from Thailand (I live in Hong Kong) I took this a couple of weeks ago. I set up at 5:00pm and it took me until 23:30 to finally get through all of the issues and start imaging.

I was using an STC DUO filter. Primarily because I really wanted to shoot a monochrome image of the Horsehead Nebula, but after all the problems getting started I eventually switched to the Rosette

I'm really quite happy with the results and cant wait to go back in 6-7 months for the next shot. In the meantime, lots of reading and viewing here for inspiration.
