For my second outing with the LX-200 I decided to spend the time to drift align and try some prime focus. Of course, in my joy with getting some decent results, I totally spaced dark frames, and I hadn't made my flat field box yet at this point.
This is my very first attempt at M1 the Crab Nebula/Supernova Remnant. They won't be moth balling Hubble anytime soon due to my prowess, but I was surprised I got any detail. I used my scrificed Canon EOS Rebel G body to focus and I realize that I pushed the exposure a minute or two longer than the tracking justified, but it is a start. 8^)
