These are all excellent shots, images, and representations of a wide variety of techniques. Congratulations to all -- winners in all their categories.
Boy, Bart's moon shot is close. And it does give you the sense of having orbital motion, doesn't it?

Now that was a very hard decision. I'm glad it's only once a month! 
Special mentions to all who entered, terrific work. A very special mention to Soreneck with a wonderfully detailed and crisp image of the Rosette. Beautiful.
But the real argument was between Bart and Jared. Bart's, as you can see by the responses is just THE most magnificent moon image I have ever seen. Period! And I've seen my share of 1000's of them. But my vote eventually went to Jared for an incredible Orion. The wonderful detail especially in the edge filaments, the colours, the trap showing without killing off too much of the inner detail while preserving the blackness around the rest of the nebula. One of the most gorgeous Orions in any argument.
Very jealous of all of you and an inspiration for me to keep trying until I get it. 
Cheers
Erik

My choice was between Soreneck's Rosette and Bart's Moon. The sketch was also outstanding.
My vote went for the Moon...I just have never seen anything like that...and I've seen a lot : )

Thanks to all who provided feedback! Having your work appreciated helps all of us on those nights when:
- You forgot to charge your battery; or,
- You forgot to bring your field flattener; or,
- The right ascension drive seems to be a little out of whack causing the periodic error to bee too high for a good image; or,
- You spend an hour and a half setting up, drift aligning, and focusing only to see the clouds roll in; or,
- You spend two hours going through check lists, packing the scope up for a drive to dark skies on that weekend with a new moon only to find that your clear sky clock shows pure white; or,
- You just can't seem to get the scope to focus properly; or,
- You have a wonderful dark night and all your equipment is working perfectly, but the wind is just a little too strong for your mount/scope.
Recording the night sky--whether it be through a CCD camera, a DSLR, a sketch, a web cam, or on film--is a time consuming and often frustrating experience, so the encouragement is much appreciated!
