Rigel

[Les Ewan]

Orion culminates at 3am just now and waited till then to image  Rigel's companion which lies about 9" from the primary. The sky was crystal clear but with the usual  turbulence.

Equipment used was a driven Skywatcher 400P Flextube Dobsonian ,Nikon 3200 DSLR attached to a Celestron Ultima Due 21mm eyepiece and X2 Celestron  barlow.

1.5 second exposure at 400ISO

Nice capture indeed.

A difficult thing to do.

Very nice. Your next mission, should you choose to accept, is the same with Sirius and The Pup 🐶😀
