Yup, Uranus is just starting to move away from Jupiter but the moon is a bit close to have good low light pollution.

I started to do stellar photography not very long ago and only done 2 observations on a simple tripod with the same Camera that you have (Canon Rebel Xsi SRL D450). These pics are not very good as I have very bad light pollution in my area and I was using a 300mm lens and photoshop to stack my images. (I have Registax and DeepSkyStacker but I can't get to make all CR2 pics line up automatically)
The sky is not very rich in planets this time of the year, but its good enough to start learning the sky. Very fun to do  :cool:

Anyway, here is my first ever exposure (this one is Altair) and I got lucky enough to catch a moving object.

Same star, only max zoom.

Here is Andromeda (M31) with 10 stacks of 6seconds. Dang this thing is big!

And Jupiter with its moons (out of a few dozen), only one shot, had set up the exposure too long to see the colors. The moon Io was actually right in front of Jupiter at the time this was taken (2010-07-31)

Thanks for the pointers guys :cheers: :salute

Here is a 30 second exposure from outside my window.
It show the constellation Cassiopeia and the really faint smudge to the right of that is M31 (Andromeda Galaxy)


The same picture but edited a little bit.
