More space photos from the silly English Astronomer type. This time a mosaic of the Great Orion Nebula (M42 and M43 in the Frenchman's list of things what aint comets) and the Running Man Nebula (which was not in that Frenchman's list).
Each photo involves 120 x 60 sec exposures stacked and tweaked using PaintShop Pro and then the two stacks merged into a mosaic using iMerge.
Taken from the top of South Mountain here in Allentown, PA with an 80mm refracting telescope and an Orion Starshoot CCD camera, all controlled by my rinky dinky computer.

Nice work! New wedge showed up, so I hope to start kitbashing the SCT this weekend (if it stops snowing).
Nice shots of these gorgeous neighbors. What a treat to view them every year.
Really awsome capture here. Wonderfully presented. Say hi to my Allentown relatives! ;]
Ohhh I love it so much! You so good at this type of photography...more pease!
Outstanding!!! I am an astronomy nut and I love seeing pics posted here!! Love your work.
Fantastic. Love your work. Very good color.
I'm am always amazed and thrilled to get the ebots saying you put one up. Thanks for sharing your views of the skies. Did you get any of the Leonid showers? we were cloudcast for the whole thing. BJ
Amazing, like always. Great work, thanks for sharing.
Sorry, didn't see the Mecury Transit or the Leonid Meteors. We had an attack of the clouds for both events (boo hoo)
very impressive ones!
