Rosette Slice

[AMcD]

This is a work in progress.  The reason the format is quite 'slim' is that, stupidly, I removed the camera to get rid of some moisture that was causing icing without remembering that I was only 3 hours through this particular target, on the way to 24 hours of data or more.  Hence the need to give the stacked image a serious 'haircut' after adding 7 more hours of data, when I realised I had reattached the camera in a slightly different orientation. 🙄

This represents 10 hours of 300sec integrations taken with an QHY8 OSC and an Optolong L-Extreme filter on a TS 152 Achromatic refractor mounted on a Losmandy G11 under Bortle 5 skies.  Acquired with SGPro and PHD2, stacked in DSS and processed in PS.  Thanks for looking, constructive criticism always welcome...
