Ive had this Celestron 8I with the starbright coatings since july 2006.

Nice shot! But, forgive my ignorance, what is it of? I don't immediately recognize it.

Hi,

It's not mine. I was just answering as to what object it was.

I took it with the rebel at a 30 second exposure in the front yard, with a few different filters , and its a old wives tail , you can knock out street lights with the lasers .
Ive tried and tried , I know its a small sensor under the cover.
When Im set up in the fron yard the street light is 30 feet away.
Im gonna play with the backlash/sidereel and tracking rates to get it goin.

The Orion Nebula - yeah, I knew I should have recognized that!
