M42 last night

M42 revisited.

Can't seem to stop imaging this one.

40 second single frame ISO 800. Think I got the focus a little better this time though the polar alignment definitely needs improving. Anything over 45 seconds and the trails were very noticeable.

Amazing results your getting with single frames Andy 8)

Thanks Phil - must try this stacking business soon. Would it improve the images that much or not?

[geppetto]

Would it improve the images that much or not

Yes yes and thrice yes...

A dozen of those M42's of yours stacked would blow your socks off 8)
