At last...the rain has cleared and left a clear and frosty night!
Orion was in it's glory tonight, so a chance to take some images of the Orion Nebula and maybe the Running Man Nebula.
Took a while to align the SLT because I kept pressing the wrong buttons on the handset in the dark, but no problem once the skyalign found it's alignment stars. This mount is brilliant, aligns not only into the eyepiece, but also on screen on the laptop with the webcam. Tracking is great and rotation when imaging is not a problem any more with Registax 4 with the multi-align function.
Managed to image the Running Man Nebula, but not enough detail to show the nebula itself, can see the star cluster clearly though.
The image above of the Orion Nebula is 15 frames stacked, 30s per frame, processed in Registax 4.
