Last night was my first time using the new scope with the camera (and didn't have the EP protector between the camera and EP adapter). I'm still working on the other pics, but I had to post this one. The Sword of Orion contains Orion's Nebula. This is basically the same as the pic on the last post only much closer and a stacked version of 6 shots. I did 20 second exposures at 1600 (using the scope as a lens, so no f stop). I was in the front yard with tons of lights all around me, so I was pretty blown away to get this good of a shot.
