Here you could try to capture both the Horsehead and the Flame Nebula in the same frame, as the lens's field of view allows for it.

There's something about it, you have to try it. That was my first time with a tracker.

Good luck! We haven't had any decent weather since May, and now we're hit with frosts down to -40°C. It's just depressing.

Blin, I feel you... at least we get a glimpse sometimes... last week there was this story about how these photos came about, please don't take it as advertising, I'm writing from the heart
