[FOOTPRINT]

Hi All,
Finally had a clear night so imaged M42 for this first time this year (hope to get more) slighty out of frame for the "Running Man Nebula" but next better I hope, Also took ngc 2024 and IC434 but a bit of cloud drifted by so not so good on these objects.

Both 5 x 6 Min. Exp. at ISO 800, DF removed, guided,
Canon EOS300D modded, Scope ED80 at F-7.5

cheers...................Jim
