Hi all, I just thought I'd post my first attempt at astrophotography with my new Canon 300D. I wasn't planning on shooting this evening, and I didn't have my Newt/Equatorial mount with me, so I grabbed my father's tripod and did some very short exposures. My focus is a bit off, but I was happy with the results.

I used the 300D at 18mm, f3.5, ISO 1600, and exposed for approximately 1 minute. Thanks for looking!

Mike
