Well, since kb shared his astrophoto, i thought i'd like to show mine. Ive been doing astrophotography for 3 years now, and this is of M42, the Orion Nebula in Orion.



Its done in Black and White, but i am pleased with the results!

Fantastic pic.  I find  M42 one of the most beautiful nebulae to watch.  its really overwhelming in a big telescope.

I see you have M43 too on this pic

Neat.

My brothers old roommate moved to Illinois so he had to give up his telescope and my bro got it. It's nothing much, but shows the moon clearly on a nice night.
