DSO-1 & 8" F15.5 Second try

[f15p5]

Had a bit better conditions last night. Seeing 3/5. Still a lot of dew and humidity but I got dew heater strip on corrector working. All images are raw, no processing. Jupiter and Large M57 at f15.5, rest using .28 reduction. Tracking still off, need to drift align.

Nice what are first two pics of?

Second pic looks like horsehead...?

So I guess the first pic would be the Triangulum in M42?

Thanks - guessed the Trapezium and can now see the HH - strange orientation threw me:-)

The first is the trapizum in M42. I was going for the e & f stars and hoping for the g & h which I saw at moments but was unable to capture. Going to try video using sharpcap next so maybe I'll get lucky and a couple of frames will show them. 2nd shot is upside down Horsehead at around 1200mm if I remember right. Was a pain to find without goto at this image scale.
