Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky... Orion

OK, trying to work around the almost full moon, and suffering around poor alignment (Can't target a star you can't see) :hunf: , I aligned on the moon then hunted for my targets in the eyepiece to center them up.
I spent a couple of hours watching some shows with the wife, and the pablum called News, before heading back out around midnight.
Caught Orion halfway between the big tree, and the power pole. ;)
And after some PP, and rotating.... here's a tiff.
Orion snuck behind the cross arm around 01:00-01:30-ish, and I packed it in for the night.
Then slept half the day away. Full moon tonight, poop!

Thanks Craig.
It actually looks a LOT better in the Orion program as a .fit file.
But I don't know how to process it well enough to get that out of it.

FIT's, TIFF's and RAW's always look better in Lightroom etc than as JPEG's.
It can get real frustrating when trying to post your most beautiful shots and seeing how they look in UHH as JPEG's.

I agree. Sometimes I am appalled at how poorly things post here.

Agreed.
But in order to get things served up well to everybody, the pictures have to have a lot of compression.
Otherwise the wait time would be back to the 1990's WorldWideWait times. :-P
But then... there is this:

Stunner SonnyE, I tell ya JPEG isn't worth a ----- but, I read something about improving it so we astro guy's don't gripe so much about losing are data when we convert.

Thank You SB and Craig. :D
It was a way to get around a still, and show the detail I was able to see.
I am rethinking using my DSLR as the camera, instead of the G3 CCD. Just to see how a 24.2 MP sensor does in comparison.
I'm disappointed in the lines the CCD has in the final picture.
Of course, it may be something I'm not doing right, as well.
Oh, and those are fit files exported as tif formats.
90s exposures. I went from 100s down to 40s trying to get as best of detail as I could.
Not that good, IMHO. The moon as 1 day short of being a full moon, and I was having a fit-full night with alignment.
But the AVX was behaving very well. ;)
