Hey guys! Just wanted to share one of the results I have gotten from my astro-photography setup that I have asked about on here before.  


For the curious:


This is one one minute shot of the Orion Nebula. I did some processing with "Astronomy Tools" by Noel Carboni (http://actions.home.att.net/Astronomy_Tools_For_Full_Version.html), mainly eliminating the light pollution, and creating a false Hydrogen-Alpha filter to overlay for better color. Now I need to practice better polar alignment so I can get rid of the annoying field rotation!


Setup:


Unguided
Sky-Watcher Equinox 80
Sky-Watcher EQ5 Mount
Nikon D40


Thanks for the help guys!
