Tom;
Did you use the iOptron SkyTracker for the Orion photo? I am considering
getting this or the AstroTrac.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Photos from Hovatter Rd. Site
Here are some photos from last night. The departing cirrus clouds formed a
very prominent sundog just before sunset. This photo was taken through a
telephoto lens.

Just after Canopus transited, Brent Archinal and I noticed that moving a few
steps to our left could produce repeated 'occultations' with the hills to
the south.

These are two 2-minute exposures at ISO 800 of Orion shot with a 20Da and
50mm lens at f/2.8, and mosaicked.

Using the same exposures, these six photos range from Monoceros through
Vela. There are too many star clusters to count in this part of the sky,
and they guy who literally wrote the book on them pointed the 10-inch at
some of them while these pictures were being exposed.
