Hi.
Pictures below were my first attempts on astrophotography without telescope - just camera on fixed tripod (10£ from Tesco).
All pictures were taken with Canon 1000D and 18-55mm kit lens.

For all pictures setings were the same: ISO 1600, f/3.5 and 30s. exposure.
All pictures were taken at 26/02/2011 on moonless and cloudless night.
