Non Imager turns to the Dark Side on M42

Hi All,

I am experimenting with AP on a very irregular basis and sticking to the following general parameters:

1. Single Shot Exposures
2. Using both Native FL and Reducer/Flattener
3. All manual exposures using both in camera JPG or RAW's
4. No Post Processing
5. No Guiding
6. No Stacking

So with no AP experience this first shot was taken using the following:

1. Canon 6D (Un-moded) at prime focus
2. Mewlon 300 at native FL of 11.9 (old non CRS version)
3. No Flattener/Reducer

Focus needs improvement as it was done using in camera live view. Also I triggered the shot manual which resulted in a bit of vibration.

The shot was 30 seconds at ISO1600 unguided and unprocessed.

Mount was Takahashi EM400 with single star alignment, no guiding or multipoint model.

Fully expecting to get lambasted on my amateurish efforts

Cheers
