It was about time I took my long awaited build project, my Celestron 8SE. Yes, it was still cold outside and clouds this winter was not ever forgiving. I drove 2 hours out to find darkness in the country; you can hear the crickets in the background as near by cars drove by. Orion's Nebula gave me the opportunity I longed awaited for my 8SE. Thank you Orion. The shot was taken with Celestron 8SE + Wedge with Canon T6i EOS and spotted / tracked / locked in Live View BackyardEOS. I used EQ North two star alignment with assisted navigation provided by Stellarium and 8SE computerized mount, no need to use PHD or Guiding Camera; I am guessing I will use the guide setup for my next goto german equatorial mount. Frames were stacked using deepskystacker and not using any type of photoshop.. Number of shots: 15 Frames File description: M42_LIGHT_7s_6400iso_+5c_20170204-21h37m42s792ms Result: M42 Orion's Nebula https://plus.google.com/102411588479979425017/posts/MtwpzgAv92p 8SE mount was controlled by USB PC stick running Windows 10 Home 32bit via RDP from my notebook, WiFi hotspot provided by my Samsung Edge 7. 110v/120v power was supplied by my jeep's interior cabin 3 prong power outlet...
