M45 - first guided image

[AndyM]

Tried using the new guiding set-up for the first time in anger last night so a fairly easy target to begin with, although its the first time I've ever got any nebulosity to appear.

Taken with a Canon 450d at prime focus on a Skywatcher ED80 guided with a QHY5 on a ST80.

10 subs of 5 minutes and 2 dark frames, finished off in Paintshop pro.

You've certainly captured some great nebulosity - excellent
