Taken from my garden with a 102mm refracting telescope  and Sony A57 DSLR

 

 

 

 

Stunning , whats the little Galaxy call directly above Andromeda?

 

THanks for sharing

M110 i believe.

 

The photo is approximately 60-70 individual exposures of 25 seconds each, stacked, then processed in Lightroom.

Thanks for your kind comments. I am hoping to be improving my astro pics shortly as i have just purchased some new equipment.

 

However, it has been cloudy ever since  :(

 

You have certainly captured "something" with your pic. Is it cropped significantly ??

 

It looks a bit patchy to be jupiter, but ho am i to argue with google lol ;-)

It was the only bright thing in the sky and the only object of note using Google's Sky app. As for cropped, well all I can say is I used the both the good pixels There does seem to be too darker strips though. I'm never going to get anything good from a 200mm lens in a Manchester back garden, at least not of a close up planet
