The top image is the core trapezium area of M42. It was taken at f/6.3 in 4 - 30 second snapshots using the Track & Accumulate feature of the camera. The trapezium itself definately hit maximum intensity in the shot.
The bottom image is of M43 by itself. This was a single 20 second exposure at f/6.3. You can start
to make out the nebulosity of M42 in the corner.

Finally got a view of this one, last time the moon was washing it out totally. Came in good at 125x.
The image is a set of 10 - 10 second snaphots in Track & Accumulate mode taken at f/6.3.

Very clear at 125x using Skyglow filter. Looked like a slightly out of shape rectangle and
almost filled the 10mm eyepiece view. The CCD image was taken on June 8, 1997 using 20 - 20 second exposures
at f/6.3.

I finally really found this one, my December sighting was bogus. Came in clearly
at up to 83x, especially with the SkyGlow filter attached. I was suprised how large
it appeared to be actually and it is faint w/o the filter. I think I also saw M108
close by as a faint streak but I want to double check on this one before I call it
viewed.
