Cactus Game Design Message Boards

So, I was just going to bump my old thread, but all of the image links were dead since I moved my photos around online.

So, I'll just start a new one. I've recently gotten back into Astrophotography. I got a very basic Equatorial mount with a motor (Orion EQ-1), and a Canon T3 DSLR. I'm not using any telescopes for imaging yet, but I might buy a small one soon.

Here are some shots I've taken with this setup, images linked rather than embedded due to their size:

18mm wide angle of the Milky Way. This was 12 one-minute exposures stacked for a cleaner image.

M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy. This was my first attempt with a 300mm zoom lens. I animated it with an image from Google Images to show the details.

I thiiiink this is the Globular Cluster M22, they are hard to tell apart.

The Trifid Nebula on the left, and the Lagoon Nebula on the right.

And this one I stayed up till 4 in the morning for (sleep is for the weak). Andromeda Galaxy.
