Our weekly snow storm on Thursday or Friday continues this week as well (we've had them for nearly a month now). Supposed to be clear tonight and tomorrow. Didn't do much tonight other than look at M42 briefly. Transparency was not good. Hopefully tomorrow it be more transparent so I can get some shots of the horsehead. Thanks Rob and Andrew!

I had the scope out last night for about 45 minutes but,the skies were too washed out to view much.On a brighter note,I figured out why my scope wasn't aligning properly.....(I feel stupid)...I forgot to disable daylight savings time...hahahahahahaha!!!!.Congrats on the image!.Everytime I have the scope out,this time of year.I feel the need to image it. Keep the images coming!!.
