And now for something completely different...

Go on, click it, you know you want to!

Orion, snapped on 06/01/2010 @ 21:30 from my back garden - a single 10s NEF exposure @ ISO200, Nikon D50 with 35mm prime @ f/1.8, no filters, fixed tripod and none of the fancy astrogear that's currently out-of-bounds in the iced-over obsy.
Processed with PSCS3 and Noel's Actions, saved as a PNG.
Conditions: average-to-poor seeing, -8C, gentle breeze, low haze with significant light-pollution.

Suffice to say that other than getting some still-to-be-processed pics of Gemini, I didn't do much other observing as it was too damned cold to stay outside.
