Seeing that it was an exceptionally clear night, I took the camera out into the back garden. I had to wait about a minute for each shot to be exposed and saved. Biggy clattered into the tripod during one minute-long exposure which wrote that one off. Some of the stars are a little blurry when you look closely. I think that may be due to the earth's rotation.

It was strange listening to all the suburban night sounds, like kettles boiling, bins being taken out, whilst waiting for light to finally arrive at my lens from millions of light years away.
Okay so it's not exactly the Hubble deep field, but I turned the sensitivity up high on this one, and it brought out a lot of stars that were invisible to the naked eye. |
