Description

After some testing with mount alignments of my new iEQ45 I took a couple of shots of M42.

I took 10 shots with different ISO's and exposures because of the very light polluted sky and Moon. After I found the right combination M42 was already moves behind my house...

1 x 120s @ ISO800

3 x 30s @ ISO 1600

Couple of other exposures between ISO 400 and 1600 and 10s - 30s.
