First night out
I have been so excited about getting out and taking pictures of the heavens. The weather was near perfect the other night. Temps were around 50, sky was clear, and there was very low humidity with hardly a whisper of wind. I took out my EQ2 mount, did a fast polar alignment and hooked up my canon XS. The remote shutter I ordered worked great! Got to love those Chinese clones.
I decided to limit myself to 30sec exposures using the kit lens that came with the camera.
URSA Major
8’30″ exposure
Viewing the full image, I was able to capture the galaxy M101
