Orion widefield

After blowing off the layers of cobwebs on the gear I managed to nab a small number of photos on the weekend at Heathcote.

This one of the Orion region was done on the greatest overkill setup I've managed - Canon 1100D and Sigma 18-125mm lens atop an EQ6 on one of the ASV piers. It looked ridiculous, made worse by the use of a hammer and pair of vice grips as a counter weight.

It certainly tracked well!

Anyway, I haven't really done much processing (more to do) but I like the field of view and hope to tease a bit more colour and detail out of it.

As always, very welcoming of constructive criticism.

cheers
