Looks like the Orion Constellation will win for the Monthly Imaging Challenge object in January, so I will do a run-down of deep sky objects in Orion and talk about how difficult they are and what approach one should take for imaging each one. We can also discuss the M78 group project if anyone has any updates or questions.

Details on both the monthly challenges and new group imaging project are available for patrons only on the Nebula Photos Discord Server.
