Orion widefield

From top to bottom: Open cluster NGC 1981, Running Man reflection nebula NGC 1977, Great Orion Nebula M42 and De Mairan's nebula M43.

 

I thought my polar alignment was a bit dodgy so thought that 2 minute exposures wouldnt blow out the nebula too much and wouldnt strain my polar alignment.

 

480/80mm refractor with Canon 60Da at ISO800. Astro-Hutech LPS filter. 14 x 2 min exposures. Guided and dithered with SSAG/PHD. Ioptron ZEQ25GT equatorial mount. 30 darks and 25 flats (white LED panel).
