Orion

I must say that I'm very impressed with every image of M42 that has been posted here. I would like to share one particular image of Orion that I have that has what I believe to be an astroid passing in front of this beautiful nebula. I got no responce the last time I posted it and I'm having a hard time thinking that nobody is impressed with this image. I know the image itself sucks but the fact that there is an asteroid passing through makes this the most unique image of M42 I have ever seen.

Hi Brian, interesting mosaic. That is a satellite passing in front of M42. If you have a copy of TheSky it can tell you the name of the sat or you can use Heavens Above. Here is one I took last fall.
