Happy New Year everybody!!
Here are some images I took in November and December from Vekol Road.
Here's a widefield shot of M42 & vicinity:

Jay McNeil was kind enough to list some of the more obscure objects that can be
seen in the picture:
The reflection nebula Vdb 42 - the small bluish reflection
nebula around the ~8th mag star at the top near center
Wolf's Smoke Ring at bottom near center
Herbig-Haro 1&2 complex at the far right.
Here's the luminance (greyscale) version of the same picture. In tri-color
imaging you typically create a greyscale image separately from a color image
and then lay the greyscale image as a luminace layer over the color for the
final picture. I toned down the brightness for the color version because I
thought it made the colors looked washed out.

I processed this photo to emphasize the wispy details in the clouds.
Thanks for looking!!
