I echo the replies in awe of the great views. Simply professional. To think not so many years ago, when I was a kid, these would be taken by professionals with big optics.
The pic of the Dumbbell Nebula is nearly Hubble quality...LOL
The sketch of M32, well...I have never been under skies that allow that detailed a view using an 8 inch or even larger. However, I have seen the star cloud on many occasions. But, to be capable of seeing that detail under Florida skies is amazing in itself.
Bringing out all the nebulosity in Orion is simply a feat and well done.
But, I think, if I had to choose...and I did have to choose, the most innovative photo is the phases of Venus. It does a fantastic job of bringing out the motion of Venus as an inferior planet. It illustrates not only beauty, but it captures the solar system in motion as well.
That being said, I am a deep sky sort of guy myself. So, if I had another vote, the shot of M27 would be my choice for (very close) second place. I have never seen it in that amount of glory in any photo, including Hubble images.
All shots are fantastic, and sorry that in the way contests are held there can be only one first place. All are certainly worthy.
