First pic you can just make out a galaxy near top center. Not sure if that is Andromeda or not. I had it pointed in that direction, so maybe.

Cannon Rebel Cannon EOS T4i
f3.5 (as low as I could get it),
ISO 3200
Shutter 25 seconds

These are uncropped and huge.

I learned that if I want to zoom in, I need to lower the shutter speed; all those shots streaked.
Also learned to check the charge on the battery before I start.





Time to break out the Photoshop...
There is a lens I mentioned in another tripleblack thread that would work well for you. The Irix 15mm f2.4. Looking at the large image, I would drop the ISO or get a camera that does better at ISO 3200. A little too much noise. Good shots for a first time though.
