Heart of the Rosette

[AMcD]

I have been trying to use SGPro to achieve multiple target remote sessions to take advantage of those rare nights that are clear(ish) throughout.  Last night I managed to gather more data for my image of the nebulosity near Sadr, followed by 3 hours on M33 (as part of an experiment to see what happens when you image a galaxy for 24 hours through an Optolong L-Extreme filter) and finally 2 hours on the Rossette.  The image below represents 2 hours of 300 sec exposures taken with a QHY8 OSC with an Optolong L-Extreme filter through a TS152 achromatic refractor mounted on a Losmandy G11 guided with PHD2.  Processed in Adobe PS.  The image is currently somewhat noisy and I intend to add more data on the next clear nights.  I have also attached the video of the night from the Starlight Xpress ASC on the observatory - yes, the dome needs cleaning😄.  Thanks for looking...
