Hi all,

Took my first shot at astrophotography last night and I’m completely hooked! I’m a beginner here so this all very new to me. I honestly just grabbed the family camera lol to see what I could capture. Didn’t have access to a tripod so I was hunched over the back of a truck bed trying to stay still 😂

I’m happy with how my first attempt turned out. I’m going to play around with the camera more and I would eventually love to get a telescope to start seeing planets 🪐 🔭
