M42 and NGC 1977
Couldn't resist posting this after seeing Striker's 1st shot of same object with his new CCD setup. I bought his IDAS LPS filter when he sold his DSLR gear this is my 1st photo using it. It's burnt out around the trapezium, but as one of my first attempts at a guided exposures, I was quite pleased.
Taken from suburban Adelaide. 8 x 5 min with darks subtracted. 102mm refractor at f8
