Description

I currently have the Vespera automated telescope from Vaonis for testing. 
This is only a 30 minute exposure that I could run in the morning right after getting out of bed. 
I realized that I had a clear sky and that Orion was right between two trees in my backyard. I took the Vespera, set it up in 5 minutes and had it imaging while I was doing my usual morning routine. 
After 30 minutes I just picked the scope up, brought it back in and went off to work. 

This is for sure not the best image of the Orion nebula ever, but without this simpl, easy to use and quick to set up telescope this image would had never been taken.
