M42-ngc2024+IC434 w/ED80

Hi All,
To answer a few questions, first Yes this was taken at Prime Focus with the ED80 (no reducers Etc.), as regards guiding, the ED80 is mounted on an LX200-10" Scope, on a polar mount (wedge), the guide Camera is an SE- MX7C, using Astroart to guide, it all works well.

There is some noise in both pictures, this is due to NOT using a matched DF, just one from a different time, for best results a matched DF is required (one taken at the same time as the images), but I dident have time to do so.

cheers........Jim
