Orion Nebula

Hi,

The Orion Nebula. Trialling a focal reducer at a mates place last Friday night with great success. I need to get one of these. 2 hours worth taken with my 110mm refractor using 5 minute subs with a Canon 60Da.

The reducer was a Williams Optics P2 0.8x reducer flattener. If any one has one and would like to sell it I am interested as these are now discontinued I believe.

The second image is the actual field of view through my W/O Flt 110.

That little bit of extra space can make all the difference.
I've been researching again, looking at reducers for the 127.

Nice work, Mark! You need to get the highlights under control but that's a very good looking M42.

Cheers,
Rick.
