M42 - First Light with Skywatcher Evostar 72ED

Hi guys,

This is my first night out with the new scope in my light polluted backyard.

Was a mix of 60sec and 90sec subs totaling around an 1hr worth of exposure time.


Given this was my first time using an actual telescope on the HEQ5 pro (Getting balance with a dslr hanging off the back and guidescope off the side was trickier than expected) I think things worked out pretty well.

The scope does seem to show a bit of what I assume to be CA as a blue halo around the brighter stars. But otherwise I think this setup is going to keep me busy for a while to come.
