Getting back into amateur astronomy after many years off. Things have certainly changed!
Details
Date Taken: 06/26/2016
Photographer: Bruce Van Deventer
Location: Cle Elum, Washington
Other Telescope: Meade 10" f/10 SCT
Mount: Orion Atlas Pro AZ/EQ-G Computerized GoTo Telescope Mount

Notes: One of my first images with everything working. No stacking or processing; this is the image straight from the camera with the in-camera noise reduction, which takes an extra dark frame.

Astro-images taken through a telescope on a tracking mount provide breathtaking color and detail that you just can't see with your eyes alone.
