Hi,
During December I had a few days of vacation (I managed to aim it at the moonless nights ) I imaged for 3 nights 13,16-17 from a Southern region in Israel called the NEGEV desert (where the nights are clear and mostly dry in December) The outcome of this heavenly vacation were about 15 objects. 2 of them I already posted here - The Horsehead and Comet K5. Another 10 of them I'm proud to present here. I Tried to frame several interesting objects in the same frame such as:
NGC 663, 654 LDN 1332-1334 - 1337 and VDB http://www.pbase.com/tango33/image/148456378
NGC 6946 & NGC 6939 http://www.pbase.com/tango33/image/148456374
Messier 101 and NGC 5474 http://www.pbase.com/tango33/image/148456369
Messier 35 & NGC 2158 http://www.pbase.com/tango33/image/148456367
Messier 81 & 82 http://www.pbase.com/tango33/image/148456370
And some interesting Nebulae:
LDN 1608 -9-10 in Monoceros http://www.pbase.com/tango33/image/148456366
The Northern Trifid - NGC 1579 http://www.pbase.com/tango33/image/148456372
NGC 6914 in Cygnus http://www.pbase.com/tango33/image/148456373
Very hard and rarely imaged Sharpless 278 http://www.pbase.com/tango33/image/148456377
VDB 9 in Cassiopea http://www.pbase.com/tango33/image/148456379
As always comments are welcomed 
WHAT A VACATION 
Warm and clear nights to you all.

Wow, 15 in 3 nights? That's impressive, especially because each one is a quality image too!

vdB 9 is my favorite of the group. Great job on both the dust and the rich blue of the reflection nebulae in the frame. Here's hoping my own upcoming is half as productive.

Yes, very impressive.
These LDN objects in Monoceros - which one corresponds to dusty stuff? Looks worthy of close up imaging. Thanks for sharing!
