My first image taken through a telescope, after working out how to align and get the telescope to track correctly, then get the correct focus with my camera, I was absolutely stoked to be able to locate and capture the famous Pillars of Creation located in the Eagle Nebula, a target I had tried with my camera lens previously but not with the same results given the lack of focal length. While its not the sharpest image its on of my favourite so far as it represents a milestone in my deep sky imaging fuelling the excitement to push me further.
Finished since 14 days, 20 hours and 42 minutes.
