First attempt at Orion. The Orion Nebula (M42, NGC1976, Sh-2 281, the Great Orion Nebula) is an emission and reflection nebula, as well as a star-forming region in the constellation Orion. It has an apparent magnitude of about 4m, making it not only visible to the naked eye but also the brightest diffuse nebula and one of the brightest deep-sky objects.

I've seen people push exposures up to 30 seconds with it, though the focal length is shorter. I'll try that next. The issue is with polar alignment.
