M42 with the Star Adventurer

[smerral]

I thought I'd have a play with the Skywatcher Star Adventurer mount last night.  Scope was the Altair Astro 60 EDF and camera the Canon 1000D (modded). I found that 60 sec exposures were fine, 120 secs I discarded about half of them. Altogether this is a stack of 20x60 secs + 19x120 secs + 6 darks.  Captured using APT and stacked with Astropixel Processor.  Processed in Photoshop.

That is not at all bad for considering the equipment used and the short total exposure time! It looks like you need a field flattener for that scope, though.
