So last night I was out at the cinema and when I got back I realised that the sky had cleared up and Orion was well above the houses across the road. I hadn't had a chance to look at Orion through my telescope yet so I broke it out and set it up in the front garden. Unfortunately it was a full moon, so that probably made the sky brighter. Anyway, I tried to take a photo of the Orion Nebula (M42) through my telescope and this is the result:
Not that great, but you CAN make the nebula out. As always it wasn't a particularly long exposure, because of my lack of a tracking mount.
I also had a look at Mars, but even with my smallest eyepiece it was a tiny wee disc. It was noticeably red, but also had a strong white tinge to it, I'm not sure if that means I need to use a filter or something on it...

I found one successful example of this truth through this blog. I am going to use such information now.
