Date Taken: 11/15/2015
Location: Gambrills, MD
Telescope: Orion SkyView Pro 8" Equatorial Reflector Telescope
Mount: Orion SkyView Pro Equatorial GoTo Telescope Mount
Other Camera: Nikon D810A
Processing: RAW for image adjustment, Photoshop CS 6 for stacking.
Exposure: 10 x 30 seconds
Other Equipment Used: Orion Polar Axis Alignment Scope, Orion 2" Crayford Focuser with Auto Focuser
Notes: I rented the Nikon D810A as I am thinking of upgrading to an astrophotography DSLR and wanted to try it out. I lucked out and had a night with no moon and little humidity which is rare for the mid-atlantic region. This image was taken unguided with 30 second exposures to avoid capturing skyglow from the I-95 corridor.
