The Seagull Nebula, in the constellation Monoceros.

Only a few hours to get this shot in last night as we're pretty late in the season now. I got 2h 52m worth of time before it set below my neighbor's trees in the South West. I kinda wish I'd spent more time framing up Thor's Helmet a bit better, but I was worried that I'd push the Seagull too close to the outside and start getting coma on it, too.

Since life is really busy right now, I will probably do this in stages, one at a time. My motivation will be losing 10 lbs == get one more piece. I figure that will let me space out the purchases so I can get familiar with using each piece before the next one. This will also give the HEM44 some time to get its bugs worked out and features worked in. :D
