My first outing with M42 and M45 (badly) with the Orion Express 80 and the Pentax

well what do you do when you bed is taken over by your family. Get even - stay up and have a go with astrophotography with my new scope. Now I must say here i did not polar align properly, or drift align, and I know the images are not good but it shows the false colour and coma that this scope exhibits, but I don't mind that much, so M42 was my target, and had a go at pleades and realised tracking was terrible, and I had a go at the flame neb too. I will have better results when I polar align and track. images not processed either.

longest exposure iso 800 199 seconds
