Description

M42 aquires from a fairly Light Polluted area.

Happy with the performance of the Optolong UHC filter. But the stand out was the scope which is a Quadruplet so the images were nice and flat.

Also it was the first time I was trying Drift Alignment as I have no view of Polaris. Found it very tedious as compared to traditional polar Alignment, but I guess there is no other option if you have no Polaris.
