Kevin those street lights look like the aliens from War of the Worlds!
I'll have to post a pic of the yard at night... even at f8 I get less than 1/125th of a sec and ISO 100 on the camera. Those things are as bad the aliens were in the movie!

Have you tried say 20 sec subs on Orion (M42).
Yes I tried shorter subs, 40 at 25 seconds and the attached is what came out in the end.

Are any of your cameras modded?
No, all stock cameras. The Nikon is suppose to have the anti aliasing filter removed but my understanding is that that is not relevant in astrophotography.

I have thought about introducing the NPB filter I got from you a few months back, not fond of narrowing my FoV from 2" down to 1.25". I'll have to get a new T adaptor.
