These are great shots Debbie. This is difficult to do if he is taking lots of images then sorting and stacking the good one. Thanks for sharing. v

I detect a little motion blur and at lightspeed too. Who's have thunk it : )
I'm feeling better about my camera shake problem

Nice image. But, you know what really gets me about astro-photography? It's that every single picture has a gazillion stars in the background and foreground. Yeah, it's that simple, it blows my mind every time I look. I dunno', I just had to say it ;-) I do want to know more about the equatorial mount that allows for these pictures. Well done - g
