From late 2009 when I started to attempt astrophotography through 2012, I tried to capture some of the typical bright targets that lots of folks start out with. The documentation is more spotty, although I may try to go back and re-create what I can at some point. The mount for all of these images was an Atlas that was tweaked and overhauled and eventually belt-modded. The cameras went from a Canon 350XT to an Orion StarShoot Pro to an SBIG ST8300C. Optics included an Orion 102 Premium Doublet and a WO Megrez 72. Guiding was always with a separate guide scope during these years.
