Looks like it came out really nice to me.
I look at a lot of pics like this and wish I had the gear to take my own but I currently don't.

You should join a local astronomy club. You'd be surprised how many in the club would be willing to teach you the tricks and even loan you a scope.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
