Orion Nebula through my 102mm refractor

Here is a picture I took with my Nikon Coolpix 4300 fixed to my 20mm eyepiece on my 102SLT on March 13th 2007.  It is composed of  12x 15sec images put together in Registax.  This is my first attempt at any deep sky object through my telescope.  Hoping to do lots more.

 

M42 The Orion Nebula

 

 

In May 2007 I took a trip to Barmen in Norway.  It was still light when I took these photos at gone midnight local time.  Here is my telescope on the balcony of the house I was staying in (Venus is to the right above the scope):

   

Here is how I packed it:
