Trapezium as seen by STC-7

Testing an old 228mm aperture - f/9 refractor for astrophotography. Was able to motorize the focuser; works well BTW.
Attached is a 250 image stack at 20 seconds of the Trap area in M42.

Camera - STC-7
Guider: SC-2

The scope is doing well. Making a color mosaic would be an interesting but time-consuming project.

Here's m27, taken late in the season.
This m1 beats my previous m1.
