After a lot of procrastination I made up my mind and took my first photograph of a nebula with a real telescope. I’ve dabbled a little and taken some images with my EOS 5D but nothing like this before.

This is the first image I took and it’s from the Carinae nebula (NGC 3372). Look at all the stars and the nebulae surrounding them,

The image consists of 2 x 5 minutes exposures combined in Photoshop (no binning)

Astrophotography and space is so fascinating…

What do you think about the image? Post a comment below and let me know what you think.e
