Description

M42: just a very quick and dirty first attempt with my new setup (just deforked my LX200 and mounted it on a NEQ6 Pro Synscan)

Canon 5D Mark II: from 42 pictures 10 seconds each at 3200 ISO just 27 usable ones, 20 dark frames, (9 flat that must be done again), and 12 bias.

Too short exposures due to bad polar alignment and very strong and cold wind (50km/h), will have better luck next time.
