Well January is not normally very good here but I managed to get a few nights during the new Moon.

I wanted to work near Orion and not take the normally big objects, so here are my attempts.

#1
http://www.astrophotogallery.org/floyd-s-pics/p13087-b30-31-32-b225.html

B30/31/32 In LRGB in Orion

#2
http://www.astrophotogallery.org/floyd-s-pics/p13086-ic446-447-ngc2245-2247.html

IC446/447 and NGC2245/2247 in Monoceros

I am just happy to get out this time of year.
