I wonder if it would work better as a wallpaper turned 90°, I'll have to try that.

That's a bit over manipulated and over processed image..but very pretty.
Here's my Orion M-42

On my second attempt, I’m over 400 points at 82 years.

I got to just about 2,000,000 points with a full 500 years.
High mass bodies are where the points are but they disrupt orbits badly.

I have always been a star-hopper, but I admit that I do enjoy observing next to a guy with a GoTo scope. Because they can always find something without fuss, or tell me if it’s high enough for a decent observation. Makes it easier for me to find it then. :)
My only complaint is if the GoTo scope is a noisy one. The early GoTo mounts from a manufacturer that will remain nameless sounded so bad that we called them coffee grinders. When at a large gathering like Pinos or RTMC I would always avoid setting up next to them.

Yeah, I have one of those coffee grinders myself. It's loud enough to wake the dead, but it gets the job done nicely. Here's my best shot of M42 so far with it:
I'm going to have to redo that this coming winter though with the new camera I just used to shoot the Lagoon.
Who needs a fancy newfangled quiet coffee grinder when the loud one still has some life left in her?
