Astrophotography

I've finally had a chance to connect two of my hobbies (photography and backyard astronomy) and managed to snag my first decent photograph of a deep-sky object.  I hope this to be the first of many photographs of the night sky I manage to take.  Unfortunately, my window of opportunity for taking such pictures will close in a couple of weeks when I travel back to school and away from my telescope for my last semester of classes.
