Description

Out setting up and testing some new equipment the other night. New auto guiding system (ZWO 290mm mini mounted to an screw mount super multi coated 200mm prime lens) Also received a CLS CCD clip in filter from Astronomiks to combat the extreme light pollution here.

Both worked well, I captured 24 frames of the The Great Orion Nebula at 180 seconds each, ISO 1000. Stacked in DSS and the processed in Photoshop.
