One of two first light deep sky images with my 20D and C9.25". While it's not a great image, I like to point out that I took this image (as well as one of M13) with no computer attached to the mount or camera, no guiding, and while wearing flip-flops and a T-shirt! Oh yeah, and total exposure time was less than 3 minutes.
