M 42 500mm FL

 

Date:              1-26-2002

Location:         Seven Sisters Observatory  

Equipment:     83mm f6 refractor, G11, ST4, Canon F1, TTIII

Conditions:      Bright Full Moon.  Wispy Clouds

Film:                PJ-400 Unhypered   

Exposure:        3 X 10 minutes

Comments:      The bright moon washed out the nebular detail but I got more than I thought I would.  The scope has proved itself although I suspect a slight mis-alignment.  I will try this same shot - with a lot more exposure - when I can get some dark clear sky.
