M42 and the Running Man nebulae were imaged using my Sony A77 camera on the Altair EDF60 driven by an AstroTrac. I took 7 images ranging from 30 seconds to 200 seconds at ISO 1,000 with the best 6 stacked in DSS with a single dark frame adjustment and then processed in Gimp. Total exposure time was 13 minutes. Also the 14% waxing Moon was imaged with the same setup to show the crescent and the earthshine.
