We had a beautiful night last night here in Austin Texas. I decided to image M42 with my little ST-237A mounted on a Televue NP-101. One of these days I am going to afford a bigger chip, but for now, I have to try to do the best with what I have. I didn't quite frame it right so I will probably have to do it over again, but I will post what I have. 40 two minute images with 5 darks averaged and subtracted in Images Plus. The mount is a G11/Gemini autoguided with an ST4 on a converted 8x50 finder scope.
