NGC 2244

[Planitair]

I took this image on the last clear night we had in my area, 13th Feb 2023, Sky from my backyard is Bortle 7, we are experiencing clouds that are getting more and more regular in the seven year since I have been doing EAA, its taken me this long to get where I am with both my Astro Gear & how to use it correctly.

Rossette Nebula ngc 2244 (Caldwell 50) or Satellite Cluster in the Constellation Monocerus, taken me 2 yr to wait for a reasonable night and at the right time of year to

get this Beauty. Sharpcap pro with Optolong L-eNhance filter, 17 mins think taken at 15 secs, I nipped inside for a cuppa and returned finding it had dropped a lot of frames due to FWHM being too low, readjusted FWHM and then Clouds rolled in !!!!!
