First 'Proper' go at Orion

[Robny]

Hi All

I just wanted to share my first real go at imaging the Orion Nebula, this was my first time guiding also and first time using Pixinsight (demo) version using a youtube tutorial.  Taken in my back garden with Class 8 skies I'm quite pleased with the result.  This was taken with an William Optics GT71 on an HEQ5 Pro, canon 450d guided and 30 sixty second exposures, just wish I'd have allowed a bit more space for the poor running man  LOL

I'm upgrading shortly to an Hypercam 183c Pro Tec Cooled and field flattener, so I'm very much looking forward to that.

Well done. Shows light pollution needn't be a barrier.
