Hi All,

The weather did not cooperate here in southern California for imaging in January so I am posting my December 2009 images.

Orion Nebula wide field - http://astrophoto.net/m42.html

Messier 67 - http://astrophoto.net/m67.html

Messier 38 and 36 - http://astrophoto.net/m38.html

I also have uploaded pages with high resolution crops taken from the Orion Nebula wide field shot:

Perfect processing ! M42 is one of the best example how to process it's central part.
Impresive set of pictures grin
