Orion Nebula again

I got a much better picture using a modded eyepiece adapter and much better computer guiding of the scope. Only drawback was the moon being 20 degrees away making the sky very bright.

Not to many other Nebulas this time of year that can be photographed from Central Ohio.

If the moon ever leaves I'll try to get Rosetta Nebula and at least make an attempt at Horse Head, but I'm pretty sure I can't pick it up unless I'm at a dark location. I did pick up the Whirlpool Galaxy near the big dipper that night, but the sky fog was to high to get anything except the galactic core in the image.

 

I use a Canon digital S2 IS and my Celestron 8" telescope acts as a 2000mm F/10 lens.

6000x6000 nice Brian, but kinda makes it hard to look at even on a 51" monitor.

 

What I really want is to get a nice picture of M51 "The Whirlpool Galaxy." At least good enough that I can frame it on my wall. Look that one up on yahoo to see some nice shots of it.
