cookie: are you able to elaborate on the way you set up for the orion shot? i dont have a scope yet and i want to see what my kit can do. I also notice there is some nice reds in your shots, is your camera modded?

Good shots by the way, but i dont know how to take them yet, so i cant offer any feedback sorry!

It was taken with a unmodded Canon400D and its kit lens working at 40mm;ISO800 ; f5.6;180sec ;daylightWB;fog filter added to diffuse the star a bit. The camera was mounted on a cheap motorised polar aligned equatorial mount, unguided.
