Pillars of Creation AKA Eagle nebula/M16
Another ambitious project. I have shot this target previously at lower focal length but wanted to get real close to the Pillars so used Celestron C11 at 1950mm pushing the limits of autoguiding. Each Sub 300sec in SHO.Flickr

Very nice region of the constellation of Corona Australis captured last night. I looked into that area of the sky last year to see if there was anything interesting and I liked what I saw.Flickr

Finally tried out my new tiny telescope on Rho Ophiucchi yesterday night. This target is pretty much the driving factor behind the purchase of a wider angle scope.Flickr
