A reworked version of the previous photo with adjusted focus. Overall, I'm happy with the result.
The region of the sky near the Dumbbell Nebula
Photo description / processing
Lens test at 200mm. Because I used a camera adapter, it was simply impossible to achieve focus. I'll have to figure out how to fix this issue. As for the photo itself... it was taken during a full moon in the dawn sky (the sun doesn't really set completely at my latitude), so the conditions weren't very suitable for astrophotography. Still, I'm quite pleased with the result because I finally managed to polar align my mount.
I'll definitely try to retake this photo with proper focus, but I can't say exactly when.
