M42 My First DSO

This is my first try at DSO Prime Focus.

Unfortunately conditions were really bad tonight, moonlight and cloud coming and going on Orion. But I thought I would give it a try.

I set up and focused through the camera viewfinder as best I could under the conditions. I only got 3 shots in before the clouds totally closed in and this is the best one. I know it's not in focus SkyWatcher 8" f5 Newt on EQ5 with Dual Drives - Pentax ist DL - 50 sec ISO 800

I hope to do better next time.
