Nikon D300, Sigma 300mm f2.8 lens @f4 mounted on a Celestron SE Goto mount.
Orion Nebula M42 looking south over the light polluted skies of North Merseyside.
First real attempt at any thing remotely deep sky. Camera / lens is fittted to a vixen style plate and fixed to the mount in place of the telescope.
Exposures were 24x 30s giving around 12 minutes in total and stacked using DSS.
