M42, an F7 guinea pig

Hi Everyone

Whilst I had the guiding sorted and as NGC 253 headed lower into the crapmosphere, I slewed over to Orion to shoot some quick subs @ F7 before I called it a night.

The background is a little noisy but easily fixed with more data. I still had to pack up and haul everything inside, so it was just quick re balance and a short run of 10 subs to see how guiding would go on the opposite side of the meridian. There's room for improvement but I'm happy with where I'm at.

5 x 2 min + 5 x 5 minute subs . sensor temps were reading 28 to 31c
