My first DSO

I was down at the heavily light polluted park near me in Sydney last night practicing drift aligning and I eventually got it aligned well enough to take a few short exposures. So I snapped off a bunch of the still low in the sky M42.
This is about 10 x 30 sec @ ISO2500 and about 10 x 15 sec @ ISO2500, no darks or flats, stacked in DSS. Taken with my unmodded 5DmkII + SW ED80 +EQ5.
There's also a few others from last night on my blog: www.hughca.com
Can't wait to get to some dark skies!
