Description

Here is an image of Orion captured in April. This was a short exposure captured before Orion dropped below a tree line in my yard. I only had about 20 mins of exposure time once the sky got dark enough to resolve. Additionally, I was using the Skyguider Pro camera mount, so I had to star hop a bit and manually frame it in limited time.

This will definitely be improved with another capture later in the year with my CEM25 mount.
