did you use your telescope or just the camera ?
ReplyDeleteJust to reiterate - no telescope used. just normal 70mm lens on camera on tripod (no tracking). Have lots of other shots (up to 2 minutes) - I was trying to catch a perseids meteor - which I did see twice! - but no luck. On the longer exposure shots you just get lots of star streaks and a very bright sky due to all the light pollution
