Orion Widefield Shots

[Gerr]

Had a couple of decent evenings lately to have a look at the Orion constellation but not with the telescope.

I have wanted to try out my Canon 50mm and Sigma 105mm prime lens on this target for sometime!

I set-up the Heq5 and piggybacked the DSLR and above lenses on my refractor and shot off 30 images of Orion with both lenses.

I used f2 aperture and ISO's of 800 and 1600 on the Canon and Sigma respectively. Each shot was of 30secs duration.

Usual calibrations frames were taken and integrated with the lights in DSS and processed in Photoshop CS2.

For such short integration times I was very happy with the result - hope you agree and CC's welcome.
