It may seem early to be doing M42 photos but at 3:30am it was up about 20 degrees.

William Optics 80/480 fluorite triplet, Televue .8X reducer/flattener, modified Nikon D70, piggybacked on a Nexstar 11 GPS.

10 x 60 seconds unguided.

Gee, I've posted 3 photos lately and no comments, are they that bad?

LOL @ Greg!
No, it's not that your shots are bad, it is that people might not be around to enjoy them! wink

Great shot Greg... lovely M42... definitely one of my favorites!

Thanks for sharing, and keep'em coming! (even though people might not reply...)(sorry, I have not been around much lately... real-life issues)
