Orion

Clear skies Saturday night. Left home at 9.00pm, 1 hour drive north of Melbourne and I was imaging by 10.45pm. EQ5 RA motor not performing well, had to throw away many subs with periodic errors. Ended up with 10 x 30 sec subs for the Horsehead and only 5 x 30 sec subs for M42 which was shot through a Baader nebula filter.

Unguided prime focus of a 200mm f5 Newt with a modded Canon 550d @ 3200iso.
