M42 Orion Nebula - First DSO Photos

[Ian McCallum]

I left my Sky-Watcher Skyliner 200P Dobsonian out for about 20-30mins, at 20.50hrs this evening. 

I think put on a Meade Super Plossl 15mm eyepiece and attached the smartphone adaptor to it. 

I managed to get a few photographs of M42 the Orion Nebula, before it was obscured by the passing clouds. 

Seeing conditions aren't that great and I couldn't get a clear image in the eyepiece, as I'd hoped.
