A shot of M42 taken through Sir Patrick Moore's 15" f/6 Newtonian
reflector on March 1st. Canon 20Da was used to collect the component
shots. 3x30s + 1x10s + 1x3s all at ISO1600. I believe that the faint
vertical lines in the larger image are due to the fact that I forgot
to turn the noise reduction mode on!

Great images Pete - to think I used to look thro that scope here at
Stoneleigh only 1/2 mile away in Phil Ringsdore's garden. Was about to
make an offer on scope when the the Master and friend of Phil's stepped
in;-). Optics I think by Peter Sartory?

That's interesting to know - thanks Maurice. Nice to think there's a
connection too :-)
