I had relatively clear Skys last night so I took my new tracking mount and Nikon with my 80-400mm lens out last night for my first try at DSOs with just a camera and long lens.

Here is the setup, and first two attempts.

The Pleiades star cluster

M42 The Orion Nebula

I think my polar alignment was off just a bit. Either that or I bumped the tripod during the exposure, but I am happy with my first attempt.
