The Horsehead (Barnard 33) and Flame (NGC 2024) nebulae together with Alnitak. My best image so far of this wonderful region of sky. Taken with red, green and blue filters on a monochrome miniCam8. Also my first colour image from filters, possibly my first proper astrophotograph. It still needs more time and effort to develop into a propper image (if you go pixel peeking there is too much noise). But I am happy with this effort from my trusty old TeleVue60is refractor. And of course, the SetiAstro Pro processing software from Franklin Marek, best open source astro software on the planet.
