M42 - Near Live Video

[Spacedout]

Hello chaps,

I had to wait up late for this one due to my area of view-able sky but it is after all one of my favorite targets!  Anyway, here is a quick clip taken from last night's broadcast on Video Astronomy Live.  

Thanks for watching

Nice video, thanks for posting. Trapezium nicely resolved in the centre. Which scope and camera was this taken with?

Hello Robert,

Thank you!  This was the C11 with a Mallincam focal reducer MFR5 and my Mallincam Xtreme.  I have seen this much sharper before so I need to check my collimation but overall I was pleased.  Later this year I'll try again on my ED80 with no reducer just to compare.

Thanks again

Karl

Very nice work. I have a MallinCam Jr. PRO I haven't gotten up and running yet, but I always enjoy seeing what others are doing with these.

Clear Skies,

Dave
