I took a series of photos of Orion last night (just before the camera tripod toppled over, destroying it. Bah.). Below are two results… a single photo, and the result of “stacking” seven images and tinkering with the luminance and saturation. It’s not what it could be… I had the focus a little off, as you can see. But it’s still an interesting result.
<> Probably the last night-time photos for a while. The tripod is ruined (the hinge part up top sheared right off), and will cost about $100 to replace. So, no tripod for me.

Good job so far, are they taken through the telescope or with a telephoto lens? If you’re not shooting through the ‘scope, then piggy-back your camera onto it.

cheaper than $100 for repairs.
As long as you’re thinking about writing about things, give some thought to writing a short guide to how the average geek can do the same sort of thing. What characteristics of the camera are essential, etc.?
the best Telephoto lens that i have used on an SLR is the Canon EF 70-200 F/2.8 lens. Best image quality ever.`’:
