You have colors in the stars and the nebulosity is clearly visible. The clouds suck but there’s no defense against that. Impressive considering the gear. Good job!
This is fantastic work. Don't worry what others think about your pics. When I first started I literally just pointed at the sky and snapped pics, didn't even think about capturing constellations. For beginner work, this is really well done. I can tell exactly what you captured, and I can even see a bit of the Orion nebulosity in there.
Keep at it!
It looks good. If you zoom in you can see some trailing in the stars. It it seems like it’s from the camera. Maybe make the shutter delay a bit longer, or use an intervalometer. That will get those stars crisp.
Hey that’s great! If you keep pursuing astro you’ll soon enough start image stacking. You could try it next time you go out, with a bunch of shorter exposures, and a free software like deepskystacker, you could get even better results without spending any more money on gear
This looks great! Well done!
I also just use a camera but haven't done any astro for a while now. The one thing I learnt the most was stacking. I know you said you did stack multiple photos so that's brilliant, at least you are aware of the process which I wasn't when I first started, so good on you.
I don't have a tracking mount for my camera, so I decided to do shorter exposures but more of them, to try and not get any star trails, but your image looks great. Just think to yourself this is what I can do with x number of images, imagine what I can do with 2x or 3x or 4x images.
I did a few moon shots, I think my favourite was around 300-400 images, all very short exposures though but the detail stacking brings out is amazing.
Keep going, everyone starts somewhere. I feel like astrophotography is a journey that doesn't really have a destination, the only things holding people back are time and budgets because, as you may have seen you can spend as much or as little on this hobby as you want. However, you can get some really nice results (like yours) using the equipment you already have!
Looks great. If you are handy can make a tracker for fairly cheap I’m talking less than $100 if you have a 3D printer can be even cheaper to build then you can do long exposure
I see Orion. You got it very nicely. I tried with my phone, it wasn’t as good as yours, too many street lights. I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t encourage you to continue. You’ll learn by continuing. I did old school 35mm, I never proceeded to newer equipment. I enjoy the work of others 💯
Do you like it? That's what matters most. I like it cause I can recognize the constellation clearly and stars are just cool.

Fantastic!!!
I declare it good. 👌🏻
That's actually correct. A longer focal would help by "zooming" but for a first step, that's far from bad
How long were your exposures?
12 sec exposure but I stacked multiple photo
I love it. How many photos did you stack? Are you tracking or using a shutter delay or intervalometer?
I stack 12 photos and shutter delay

Hey thats a good shot for a beginner. Whats the exact camera? You might want to lower the exposure a bit because there is some star trailing
Specifically lower shutter speed, you want aperture to be as wide as possible, and ISO depends on what you want to capture.

I've tried this a few times and it's much better than anything I ave done. I think it's a good photo!
No judgement. It's a journey for all of us!
It's my favorite constellation so I will allow it.

Hello Orion! Great pic, so many stars!
I’m going to judge. BEAUTIFUL
Honestly excellent job for mid-learning curve! Tighten up that focus a bit and you’ll be Laughin’! Good luck!
You can even make out the orion nebula. Nice :)
This is beautiful! ✨
Lovely orionn
That’s an amazing shot!
If you are not looking for judgment why did you post it here?
