Hi Steve,
A really great shot there. I am new to imaging through a telescope (I have been doing old-fashioned tripod-mounted astrophotography for a while, but only just bought a telescope). I have an ED80 like yours, mounted on a HEQ5 Pro GoTo.
I took it out the other night and couldn't get the camera to focus (I needed an extra centimetre between the primary and the camera, damn!) but managed a 30sec exposure of M42 and it was a lot smaller than yours, despite using the same 'scope.
Could you please explain how you constructed this image? How did you stack your exposures?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
