Description

A bit of fun here - first light for my new ASI294MC OSC and technically my first experimental attempt at a mosaic, although I've already put my second (more serious) attempt (Tadpole + Flaming Star) on Astrobin!

My first stab at using the camera meant I went for 30 second subs, I need to experiment more to settle on my ideal sub length...still the results are decent!

I love the Orion constellation and if I had the skies and time, I would mosaic the whole thing, but failing that, I can do bits and pieces! Orion's Belt is amazing to me, the three stars, Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka, very distinctive in the night sky.

Thanks for looking!
