M42 Orion & Co.

Captured another Orion last night.

I added to it the data from the previous night and here's the result.

The fishing line had to come off the front of the ED80 so that I didn't end up with two sets of diffraction spikes..

Exposure: 33 x 3 mins (over 2 nights) ISO 1600 (20 darks)
Camera: Canon 350D unmod
Scope: Orion 80ED (with crosshairs and UHC-S filter)
Mount: LXD-75 auto-guided
Guidescope: LXD-75 SN-8
