A few astrophotos

I had an opportunity to visit the Mark Twain national forest. The location I visited was listed as 1 on the Bortle scale, this translates to really dark skies.
The Orion nebula was shot prime with my camera attached to my telescope. The others were shot with a 35mm lens. A D7000 was used.

I want to go where you go...what color filter did you use...?
I did not use any filters. The top picture of the nebula was taken through my telescope. The chromatic aberration is awful through my telescope, thus the blue halos around the stars. The other 2 photos were taken with a 35mm lens and camera mounted on my telescope. I have an equitorial mount with a right ascension drive to mitigate star trails. I shot everything with the WB set to daylight and made a few tweaks in LR to get the stars near to their true colors.
