I would like ur opinion on some of my first serious astro-imaging work. And I didn't use very expensive equipment. (Equipment used is on my page)

Hey,
Looks good. I've just started astrophotography. My method involves holding a digital camera up to the eyepiece (with a special mount). It's been pretty effective so far. But yeah, good job.
Ever consider stacking multiple images using software (such as RegiStax) to bring out more detail?
 
yea...i haven't got around to doing that ;)
 
lol, yeah, me neither.
