This is 11x60s at ISO800.

First sight of the faint galaxy M108.

This is 7x60s at ISO800.

First sight of the very faint cluster M107.

This is 4x60s at ISO800.

First sight of the very faint cluster M71.

This is 5x60s at ISO800.

First sight of „one of the few real mistakes in the Messier catalog,“ (Burnham).

While Messier was looking for a nebula or galaxy, all he found was this double star.

This is 5x60s at ISO800.

My next try on the Hercules Cluster. Not bad for a night with a nearly full moon… 🙂

This is 55x60s at ISO800.

From some days ago, did some longer exposures this time 🙂

This is 3x180s at ISO800.

This is Owl Nebula. Unfortunately I got problems with polar alignment before capturing this object, so I had to revert to 30 second exposures.

This is 19x30s at ISO800.

M81 and M82 both on the same image 🙂

This is 3x300s at ISO800.
