Description

This was my first attempt at Astrophotography with a computerized tracking system. I finally got everything to work together. I took photos of M42 and MGC2244 on the same evening. It has taken me months of studying too get to this photo which I'm proud of. I have a long way to go yet in learning this new and fascinating hobby. I have tried new techniques since this photo using plate solving instead of Polar alignment but Polar alignment is far better. I am happy with my field flatter as I never had to crop even a bit off this photo.
