I need a lot more exposure on this one, but at 3:30 I was running out of energy and the nice transparent skies we had were starting to go. sad

Standard Digital Rebel
4 x 240 seconds @ ISO800
6" F5 Newt. on a G11
Calibrated, aligned, and processed in ImagesPlus (I love this software grin )
Also ran it thru Neat Image 2.2 to reduce the graininess due to the short number of exposures.

Thanks for looking,

Ok, this is the last one from the weekend of the 22nd. smile I ended up cropping this one because the guide star I chose to use is the bright one on the left (made everything off center).
