The Witch Head Nebula IC 2118

This was more trial than proper shot. The blue light shows up from Rigel in this shot more than the first shot I took of this area. I think its worth doing the whole line of the Witch Head about 2-3 more shots to added to the top will wait for Less moon as well. This utilizing Nina's self line up/rotation mode when framing the subject. this is three shot of the Witch Head on top of each other to make this panorama , they ended up perfectly on top of each other rather than off..

 

The only draw back is you cant do the frame up before hand you have to do it when the camera can see the subject to get the alignment of the camera. I took these three shots as the trial but it was the wrong target to pick because of the the moon light but the right target to try out the panorama on. The Nikon gets the bright light from Rigel AND the ZWO ASI071 MC astro camera is very badly effected by the same bright light light of Rigel, just to the right out of shot.

 

I have put the Nikon 50mm F1.8 lens on the Nikon Rig to take the whole of the Orion area and Barnards Loop.
