It's the Panasonic Lumix G95D with a 12-60mm kit lens and a tripod. Going to try to get the most out of what I have before I get any more gear. The temptation is strong, though.

It's Orion's Belt and the Orion Nebula.

Just a tripod and the kit lens that came with the camera. With a little more time and tweaking I think I can get it a bit clearer.

I'm almost certain it's the Orion nebula.

What’s your setup? I’ve been looking at getting into this myself.

What is this formation? Saw it last night. Is it Sag?

You're doing great! The stars look sharp and in focus. Are you using a tripod or a tracking mount?

First time using a DLSR as well. Still trying to figure out the best mix of exposure, iso, and aperture. Gotta start somewhere.

Very nice. Also known as the Seven Sisters but normally you can only see six. I think there's a star in your photo which could be the seventh.
Do people call this the little saucepan/pot/dipper? Here in the Southern Hemisphere (Australia) many people call Orion "the pot" because it's upside down here. So this constellation can be called the little pot. You have the Big Dipper of course, which we can't see.

There's actually nine named ones. In addition to the sisters, their parents Atlas and Pleione are actually two of the brightest seven. Asterope and Celaeno are the eighth and ninth brightest stars
