I'm not sure how this will show since it's a downsized version, but here is a panoramic image I created of a really scenic area of CO

I finally managed to get to the observatory Sunday night, the first moonless, cloud-free night in nearly a month! I didn't get as many exposure of the objects I was working on as I'd like to have done, but I did get a couple of really good ones. The first one is a re-do of one I've done before, and knew I could do better. It is NGC 281, the Pacman Nebula, in Cassiopeia. It isn't a hubble image, but it does show a lot of detail, and the stars are better than my last one.

So far this month I think this is my best, but knowing my luck I'll change my mind by the end of the month.
