Well done, Kevin. You've got excellent resolution there. Each of the two very bright stars on the upside-down tom-cat's nose is revealed to be a triple, comprising a very close binary and a fainter outer companion. That takes some doing.

The DSLR has let you capture the reflection nebulosity beautifully. The famous Herbig-Haro jet (the thorn in the pussy-cat's ear) and the cometary globule next to it are only just there if you know where to look.
