Description

I thought these targets might frame nicely in a wide field and wanted to test out the D5300 so I gave it a shot. The stars on the right reminded me of the little dipper.

I did some from my backyard the first night and the second time setup at the astronomy club, where we had very nice seeing after the clouds left. Had fun at the observatory as I got to look through the 14" Edge while imaging, that's scope is amazing.

I also tested a combination of SGP and Backyard Nikon for this shot, SGP for the framing and BYN for the capturing, just experimenting.
