Star Adventurer 2i with a scope

I plonked my old meade F7 102 Star Navigator on the Star Adventurer and pointed at the Orion Neb on the 19/01/21.

It was pretty windy so could only keep 17 of 100, 60 second exposures at iso 1600.

I think it has potential, if you ignore the purple halos.
Telescope and camera weighed in at about 3.4kg and the mount seemed to track ok with that.

I was just testing this sort of setup out while I'm considering buying a Skywatcher ED80 to mount on the Star Adventurer, which should give a wider field and less purpley bits.

cheers
