Messier 42 (again) with the pig in lipstick
Yes I know it's been done to death, but with the murky conditions these last few weeks it's the only bright object I can image except Jupiter!
This is me playing with the Ice In Space acquired 8" Newt, the so called pig in lipstick as it is a basic SW 8" Newt with a bright red Moonlite focuser -sort of suits it!
Took ages to get some alignment -still getting used to the yoga positions required when using a newt. Anyone invented rotating but secure tube rings out there?
Anyway, unmodded canon, stacked in DSS and processed in Startools.
About 40 frames of 45 sec at 800ISO. No filters. Had to abandon the run when the moon became to bright.
Cheers
