One of the things that has occurred with the recent arrival and subsequent departure of Comet McNaught is that a friend of mine has stirred my interest in astrophotography. That in itself presents a challenge as the the light and movement of the earth are to be considered. The technical aspects can be quite daunting , ie specialised mounts,and film and patitience and good weather .. the list goes on.
however i managed to get attachd image with my Pentax *ist. 30 sec exposure at F4, at iso 400. And then tweaked a little in Photoshop to up the levels and ad reduce some of the noise.
Well.. i happen to find a second hand equatorial mount , attached to a 900 mm telescop(that was a bonus) and a motor drive will soon be attached so, long nights await yours truly.
