[Lvas] Mallincam Photos

[Rob]

Guys,

Thought you might be interested in seeing some of my first attempts at 
capturing images with my Mallincam.  The attached photos of M42 are 
single frame unprocessed photos reflecting exactly what I was seeing on 
the monitor.  The Trapezium washes out the center of the first one, but 
there's a lot of color.  In the second one, I reduced the overexposure 
so there would be more detail in the center.

The next series of photos showing a very sparse star field has an object 
that will move from right to left as you progress through each photo.  
View the photos in numerical order - 016 got out of order in the 
attachment process.  The object had to have been an asteroid; the object 
took over 30 seconds to cross the FOV, so it didn't leave a continuous 
streak across the FOV.  It wasn't bright enough to have been a satellite 
or other man-made object.  It also seems to have been tumbling - look at 
each frame closely and you'll see it's orientation changing.   I 
captured 13 frames of 2 second integrations after I realized the object 
was moving. I thought you might find it interesting.  It was a total 
accident that I saw it.  I was on my way back to M42 from another object 
and my goto had lost some accuracy and stopped with M42 just out of the 
FOV to the southwest.  Just as I started to move the scope on to M42 I 
noticed the object had moved so I started capturing images as it moved.  
Anyway, let me know what you think.

Rob
