The Astronomy hobby thread

For years, or more rather decades, I've been into the visual aspect of Astronomy. I've had many telescopes ranging in size from 3.5" to 16". I've recently taken an interest in Astrophotography and purchased a decent equatorial mount to give it a go.

My current telescopes are great for visual use but I'm finding out they are not quite up snuff for photography. They will work for now as I learn all the intricacies of the hobby.

My Fujifilm X-Pro 1 camera does ok but it will be replaced with a dedicated AP camera in the future.

Anyway, I know there are others here on Pelican that enjoy the hobby as well. I thought we could use this thread to share photos, ideas, stories, etc.

This image of the Orion Nebula (M42) and the Running Man was taken with a Skywatcher 120 ED telescope sitting on a Losmandy G-11 mount. This is a stack of 20 images with exposures ranging from 60 seconds to 10 minutes.
