Altair - is the brightest star in the constellation Aquila and the twelfth brightest star in the night sky.  This image was a 20 sec exposure with a Nikon D3000 attached to an Orion Sirius 8 EQ-G Mount.  An Astro-Tech coma corrector and field flattener was also used.

Andromeda - The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years (2.4×1019 km) from Earth. This and the following photo were not focused as well as they could have been  as the object were too dim to see through my camera eye viewer.  This image was a 30 sec exposure.
