Well, the weather this month was not optimal to put it nicely. We had upper level winds, with soft seeing and gusty conditions at times.

But I was up there for 5 nights so I made the best of it. 3 of the 5 nights were sooooo bad cwy that I had to toss that data out.

I managed to make two images through, but not as good as I would like.
Still, since it is the time of year that imaging here usually sucks, I guess I should be happy. grin

First off, here is IC 2162, a nice little group of puff balls in Orion. This is the first time I have imaged them, kind of cute little guys.

Then here is Barnard 35, also in Orion. This one I like because of its shape and colors. Another first time image, so I wish I had 3 nights instead of 1 on this. :S
