Christmas evening was our last chance to observe in 2011. During one period I spent almost an hour each at the Flame Neb and NGC 891. Both are popular objects. Shown below is 891, which is always a delight to observe. The Flame (color sketch) on the top post (sketch and story) when you go to rolandlinda3.wordpress.com. As we normally do, the observations are with astro video assistance but with relatively short integration periods but high gains, the presentation is very nice but also demanding, because there is more to study and record.
