Description

I mounted my Canon EOS 800D with a standard 50mm lens on my EQ6R-Pro. I found, that the main part of the Orion Constellation fitted into the window beautifully. After some experimentation, I found out, that stopping the lens down to an aperture of 5 resulted in way better star shapes. I then needed 3 minutes of guided exposures at ISO 1600, to come up with usable exposures. This image is the result of 2hours exposures in a moonless night.
