Good Night at the BMAS Observatory

Great night at the BMAS Observatory Friday night. The images are the Orion Nebula (60 sec exposure) through George's 8" reflector, The Moon (Canon 50 mm), Constellation Orion (Canon 50 mm), closeup of Orion Nebula (Canon 50 mm). The color of Orion appears redder because my camera has been modified to pick up more hydrogen-alpha light that is given off as red light in nebulae.
