Orion last night

[Glenhuon (Bill)]

Got an hour or so of clear sky last night so tried out the new (to me) controller on the EQ5. Mount still needs tweaking for alignment, but my best effort yet. 20 sec exposure on DSI and minimal processing in Nebulosity.

Some nice details showing through there Bill.

I know it is only a 20sec exp so you haven't got too much to work with but perhaps try stretching the image a bit or playing with levels as the image looks to be clipped (sudden drop off to black around the nebula)..? If you can get some of the outer nebulosity to show up it will look even better

More exposures will help too of course.

Bill with that controller you should be able to do at least 1.5min unguided.
I did it with it.
Pic looking good

Nice capture Bill, the Trap is looking well defined and not overcooked.

Cheers
