The Rosette Nebula against the odds!

[steppenwolf]

That pesky Moon last night made DSO imaging somewhat problematical and in hindsight, I should have done some Ha work instead but in between the flitting wisps of cloud there was a lovely sky to be seen so the camera beckoned! Not particularly pleased with the final result but at least I did get out there.

12 x 600 second subs. with SXVF-H9C and 200mm Telephoto Lens.

What? How? I could read by the moon last night

Sterling stuff, Steve

I amazed that you managed that result Steve, given how 'washed out' the sky was.

I guess, its a case of "never say never".

Nice work!!

What gets me is that you say you are not particularly pleased with it :shock: I think it's a cracker, I love the colour

Superb image. I like that a lot.

[barkis]

Yes, such a splendid image Steve, 10 minute subs indicate superb tracking too.

Very nice indeed.
