Description

This is my “First Light” for my setup: The classic NGC 7000 in SHO. Taken from a “white area” in the middle of Ialyssos town in Rhodes Island in Greece. I took all the images in one night. I was very excited to create my first image using my new (and my first) astrophotography equipment.
58 images in SHO and 30 Darks.

Thanks for visiting…
