Hosted photo: posted by twists n turns in ./showthread.php?p=18087678&i=i50560159 forum: Astronomy & Celestial Very new to the whole night photography side of things. Just messing about really, but i liked this one... Im just hoping TCampell will tell me what i have in mine! Googled the Hercules cluster. That's something else!You essentially captured the same part of the sky, but with a lower focal length lens - so you have a larger area of sky in your image.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. The globular cluster M3 and M5 are both in your image. M3 is probably behind the clouds, but I actually do *see* M5 in the image. M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, is also in your image but appears to be obstructed by clouds. M13, the Hercules cluster, is just a bit outside the frame (off the top edge.) If you point your camera to the North-East at around 11pm (or later) and you have reasonably dark skies then you should *easily* be able to image the Andromeda Galaxy. Andromeda is huge -- not just in the sense that it's bigger than our own galaxy -- but also in the sense of how much of the sky it occupies. It's about 3º wide. The full-moon is about 1/2º wide. That makes the Andromeda galaxy roughly 6x wider than the width of the full moon!
