NEX5N, Samyang 8mm, Minolta Rokkor 100/4, Minolta MD 50/2 and Biogon 28/2.8 were used, all wide open except the Samyang.
Very first deep sky try with an very easy setup (mounted NEX with a screw on an telescope, aiming/tracking trough the telescope with largest mangification on an star all the time during exposure to compensate the rotation of the earth; except with the Samyang 8mm, with 8mm there was no tracking necessary).
Unfortunatly the light polution was a bit limiting and I don't have a car.
A part of the milkyway; I don't know if I made with the Biogon or the Minolta 50
Andromeda with Minolta Macro Rokkor 100/4, cropped.
Here you can guess the light polution

These are superb for a first attempt, especially #2 where you have captured the Andromeda galaxy, the nearest one to our own. I am impressed!

These images are really good even they were not your first try. Can you tell us something about exposure time and ISO ?

That's fantastic work. What kind of equipment did you use to compensate for the earth's rotation?

Awesome stuff!
Which telescope did you use? Was it a celestron by any chance? Also, what program on the telescope did you use for the tracking?

Thanks
I didn't use any electronics or software etc.
I only used a very steady tripod (I borrowed a ~10kg tripod with equatorial mount together with a small maksutov telescope from a friend).
I mounted the camera/lens on the top of the telescope (there were usually the "sucherfernrohr" is placed [i don't find the correct english word for it, it's the small telescope on the top which is made to find stars at small mangification]), then I aimed/centered with the highest available magnifcation on an bright star close to my target and aimed the star in center through the telescope all the time during exposure to compensate the rotation of the earth. It tooked about 10tries to get the first sharp picture, you need pretty steady hands

Great 1st effort -- these are a whole lot better than my first try at imaging DSOs with a DSLR on a fixed tripod.
