First ever image! M42

Hey Guys,

I was able to get out with my new NEQ6 and SW 1000mm 8" F5 Newt for the first time ever.

I had to learn how to align in the southern hemisphere at 11pm with the manual only really mentioning the northern hemisphere but I got there.
Still had a lot of drift but I will figure that out soon.

My first ever photo was of M42 and I was very, very happy that it came out so well.

I have edited them all because the spot I was at in Tooradin, Vic had yellow street lamps nearby which cause a lot of yellow in the image but I just turned down that colours saturation

I also got Jupiter because, hey, why not

I have posted the full pics to my Flickr here

Advice and criticism is more than welcome. I am here to learn.

Also if anyone knows of any good spots to go down on the Mornington peninsula please let me know

Matt
