Description

Still working out the kinks in my new off-axis guiding setup. I actually captured over 100 subs, but only ~10 ended up being usable because PHD2 kept oscillating in DEC. I intentionally shot short subs as I didn't want to blow out the brightest part of the Trapezium. My goal was to capture the bright detail around the Trapezium, not the faint nebulosity surrounding it.
