This image shows a large section of the Orion constellation covering M42 (Orion Nebula) and the Running Man nebula.
Reasonably good detail is visible for a very short exposure time of only 9 minutes total, I was quite happy with the result considering very poor viewing conditions and the short exposure time.
This was autoguided using my SkyWatcher 70x700 refractor as a guidescope with the Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 as the autoguider camera. GuideDog was used as the autoguider
