Very nice shot. Also, this is remarkable timing - with clear skies tonight in my location, I had planned to wait for the moon to set and attempt imaging the Orion and Horsehead Nebulae using the exact same camera/body combination on my new tracking mount. If I get anything, I'll add it to my "equatorial mount testing" thread.

Wish I had a little more reach

Nice shot, Keith!

The Horsehead Nebula is elusive. I never managed to see it with an 8" SCT.
