I went out for some more astrophotgraphy tonight. This time I decided to try my hand at a little wide-angle long-exposure images. It took me a while, but I was finally able to dial in the focus pretty well. It's amazing how easy it is to spot Orion in the shorter exposure compared to the longer exposure. I also just realized I've been shooting at ISO 200.
