A few things i have learned,,when it comes to Astrophotography....

• Gotta have a little patience to learn this sort of thing....
• Everything in space is dim and gray when looking through a telescope(except the Moon and Planets)....
• When the Moon is out,,you will not have much luck imaging anything except the Moon(it illuminates the sky and overexposes your image)....
• If the sky is not crystal clear,,and the humidity low,,you will not have much luck imaging(the digital chip picks up everything)....
• Little floating thin layer of cute clouds?? forget it....
• A digital camera chip will suck in about 100 times more light than film,,in the same amount of time....
• A digital photo of space will overexpose very quickly....
• Because of this you must use a dark frame to subtract the noise out of a digital image of space....
