First photo taken with the Atlas Mount


I finally had a chance to try some long exposure photography with the new mount. This is the only photo I could get before dew became a problem.

Photo taken with a canon rebel dslr with a 70-300 mm zoom lense set to 70 mm at f/5.6 at 800 ISO. Four exposures of approximately 90 seconds with three dark frames.

The area pictured is the Milky Way around the North America nebula. The brightest star is Deneb, in the constellation Cygnus, one of the three stars of the summer triangle.
