My first astrophotographic attempt


After acquired AP1200 DMA, I decide to try to see how good it was. It was a little bit chill yesterday night, I setup my whole rag and wait for night.

Telescope: Meade SN10, f4.0, schmidt newton reflector.
Camera: Canon 350D
Mount: AP1200 DMA
Target: whirlpool galaxy

Things I should do: prepare a focusing mask like bahtinov mask, choose a moonless night, better balance the mount.

Following is the 30 secs unguided photo
