Nice photo!

I tried astro photography for a bit, but, I need better equipment.

I have had some luck with my Digital Video camera on low light setting.

I took some video of Mars and Regulus last night. I hope to get it up to you-tube soon.

I may just have to get up early one day this week and take a peek at this.

Some of my other videos are here:

The shuttle shots were great....

We're those crickets I was hearing on the other video?

BTW, the cost of used good digital cameras and medium sized scopes have come down....Best to buy used first and see if the interest remains.

Here's another I shot recently of the Crab Nebula.

M-1 - 14x60sec Camera Canon 40D.

M1 is the remnant of a star that exploded as a supernova which was observed in ancient times around 1054 by the Chinese.
