Hi all. I finally got a chance to image.... hooooray! Here is the first of three images I took last night. It is M45 taken with my Tak Epsilon 160 on a G-11 mount with a ST2000XM camera using Astrodon filters. I hope you like it.
Cheers,
Tyler

Nice shot, Tyler! There's something Christmas-y about your image!

OT: Speaking of Christmas: I don't know if this ever changes, but I've noticed that the day patterns of September happen to match December, except for December having 31 days and September 30.

IOW, September 1 was on a Saturday this year. Which is also the same day that December 1 will fall on.

Very nice! I like the color variations you've gotten in the wisps.

Thanks for the responses. It sure was good to work a little imaging time into my busy schedule. I am working on some other images right now!
Cheers,
