Pleaides & Orion Nebula

[andy77]

Hi guys well it was clear last night, OMG did i just say CLEAR???????? So out i went and decided to try and do a 3 star alignment with my Eq5 synscan.

Eventually we got there and managed to take some images of the pleaides & orion nebula, this was our 1st attempt at the pleaides and 2nd attempt at the orion nebula

Better than our 1st efforts in my own opinion, Thinking it was down to the 3 star alignment instead of 2. Opinions???

Nice, might have to cable tie my D300 to the EQ5 and have a go
