Stars. A lot of stars - Andromeda
Recently got an equatorial mount for my camera. Equatorial mounts move the camera very slowly to compensate for the earths rotation so you can take much longer exposures without the stars blurring. This was my first time to use it to track stars - used it to track the sun during the eclipse.
This is Andromeda, the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way. Click this and it will go near full screen. You can see a couple other galaxies in the large view.
I think it looks pretty cool but it's amateurish compared to those who really know how to do it. Search google images for Andromeda and you see what I mean. Hope to get better at this.
Anyway, FWIW...
