In a seri of posts, I plan to show some of my simple astrophotos. Almost all of them were taken without any special equipment, e.g. telescope. I used only a camera, a tripod and a cable release. Using my Canon EOS 400D camera, on Sep 2010, I have recorded 24 times 15 seconds exposure without tracking. Then, the raw images were merged in Deepskystacker. M31 and M33 are seen clearly at bottom and top, respectively, on the both sides of the Andromeda constellation. It simply shows that one does not need dedicated equipments for simple astrophotography.
