Orion Nebula: Taken in 1988
through a 94 mm f/6.8 Brandon Refractor at a 12 minute exposure using Kodak
T-Max film.
Taken from Pine
Mountain Observatory
in Central Oregon.
To guide the 94mm Telescope was
attached to the Obseravatory's 24 inch Telescope. Lynn Carroll, the
undisputed master in the use of Duct Tape, assisted me in first wrapping the
94mm in foam rubber using duct tape of course to secure it of course.
The foam rubber would prevent the 24 inch and 94mm from coming in contact.
It would also prevent the duct tape's adhesive from contacting the 94mm.
We then attached the foam rubbered 94mm to the 24 by Telescope. It rested
between the main Telescope (24 inch ) and the 24's guide scope. It
was secured with duct tape. The guiding was done using an Illuminated
Eyepiece inserted in the 24 inch Telescope.
