Orion Capture - 02/15/2009 Posted by: Stephen - 2009-02-16 00:30:18

Took some shot tonight (very clear sky) of Orion and Ursa Major. Mainly trying to find a good setting to capture comet Lulin as soon as the moon allows for proper imaging. I had the D40 "piggybacked" on my Celestron C4 equatorial mount with motor drive for tracking.


Orion (nebula turned out well) captured with Nikon D40, 55mm lens with a single 4 minute exposure. Note: This is a crop, click on medium or large to view entire image.
