Took the scope out tonight briefly since the sky was SO clear (but a bit turbulent). Still getting the hang of things and the wind was picking up again so I tried some easy stuff.

Did very quick pictures of the Orion Nebula and the Moon as well as Saturn – no focusing tools, etc. since it was too cold and windy for my taste.

I think I’ll need to get a wedge (allows for polar alignment) for some more serious pictures but these were fun to start with. The Orion Nebula was a 15 second shot as ISO 1600 while Saturn was a 1/2 second shot at ISO 400.
