Leinad,
I knocked up a light box for under $40. You can get that foam board stuff from office works which is easy to chop up. White LEDS from Dick Smiths and a bit of wire via a resistor to a battery and that's it. Done.

Next step, use the refractor as a guide scope instead of an imaging scope. That will fix the blue halos

I like the image though .. Colours are ok except the core is burnt out. You have to layer mutiple exposures to get a good image of M42. Here's mine, and it still needs work
