Orion Nebula with DSLR and CPC1100 - Fork Mount Alt/Az

[AstroJOE]

This is my first attempt at the Orion Nebula taken with a Canon 600D  through my CPC1100 on Fork Mount in Alt/Az mode.

It's a single frame, 25 second exposure and is unprocessed. 

Okay, so it's far from perfect but it's definitely better than I was expecting!

Any comments welcome.... providing they are not too unkind!

Thanks Richard, I know it's a million light years away from some of the other images that get posted but I was really pleased with how simple it was to take. Can't wait to get out again and better it next time I have clear skies....
