1st October Observations

I've been out this morning observing Orion and mars.

I'm really pleased I made the effort as It's the first time I've seen Mars.

It was also an added bonus to have Mars, Orion and Jupiter visible together in one session.

The background shots were taken with my DSLR using the 18-55mm lens.

The closeups were taken with the camera connected to my telescope. I found the nebula much more difficult to focus than the planets, as it's not visible with the live view function, so a lot of guess work is required with the focus.

Thanks for your comments. I've got a barlow that came with the scope, but it ruins the image. I'm not going to buy any more parts, as I would prefer to save cash and go for a goto dobsonian next year.

I'll make do with the kit I've got and try to get more exposures and try to imrove my stacking skills.

I debated about going out this morning to catch a glimpse of Mars but at the last minute decided against it. Great pictures!
