    Wide field of M42, M43 and Running Man Nebulas:

    Imaging Camera : STC-7
    Guider Camera: SBIG 402ME
    Imaging Scope: TMB 80/4800 with TeleVue 0.8 reducer for 350mm at f/4.8.
    Guide Scope: AP 130 GTX
    Mount: AP 900

    Taken and processed using Maxim DL with some post in PS.
    Stack of 13 images for each R-G-B channel at 90 sec each.
    The resulting data usage was over 600Mb. Should have used the camera stacking!

    The TV reducer cleaned up the corners wrt elongated stars, not perfect but good enough.
