Exploring the Night Sky with the S30 Pro

Having much fun with the S30 Pro, but these early mornings are killing me, especially when there's a morning trail. Here's one hour of data on Comet McNaught, spent 10 minutes on the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), as it was so low above the horizon, just above the treeline.

This was followed by 50 minutes on the Horsehead Nebula and surrounds. All with the S30 Pro on EQ mode and 60-second exposures (19/08/26).
