m42_4.jpg

Finally got a decent night to try out all the autoguiding gear for real and work out the last bugs. Pulled a back muscle while putting the scope in the car, but I decided I wasn't going to miss the best night of a very disappointing season. I could only make it to 9 PM, the pain was just too much, spent the next two days in bed and then walked like a troglodyte for a couple more. This photo is a composite of two, 2-minute exposures and one 10 second exposure. Forgot the camera was set for lower resolution but it came out okay anyway.
