Hi all,

Id like to share my first photo of the Orion Nebula - single shot using a 8” Skywatcher Newt (200/1000) mounted onto a NEQ6 Pro - Nikon D7100 - 60 secs - 800iso - processed in photoshop.

I’m still trying to get my head around the dark, bias and flat methods so hopefully I can apply these techniques in my next attempt.

I’ve also noticed a slight star trail, wondering if this is a sign of a poor polar alignment?

Thanks
