Per aspera ad astra

I've been interested in astronomy since I was 6. But as it happens I only got my telescope just recently. Then yesterday I got a T-ring (connects camera to a telescope), weather was also fine (surprise!) and finally I took my first pictures. It's just a start but I'm so proud of it :)

My telescope is quite big and I set it up on the pier on the Bull Island causing curious looks from people passing by. Normally I would be using my garden but unfortunately Moon was low and I had to go to the seacoast to see it at all.

Now technical babbling for interested: Telescope SkyWatcher 200, equatorial mount, manual, Nikon 300 and processed in Photoshop  CS5.
