Astrophotography

The Great Nebula in Orion M42


f/6.7 Vixen 120mm Refractor, Kodak PPF 400 Film, 25 Minutes.

This photo was my first attempt at off-axis guiding (OAG) using a Lumicon Easy-Guider, and first time out with the Vixen 120. Strong winds, and low target elevation affected the quality of the image, with stars slightly trailed and sky glow effecting contrast.
