Description

Currently I am in process of collecting wide-field data around Rosette from my Bortle 8/9 area. With the moon polluting the skies for the next two weeks or so, the project remains unfinished. I was quite surprised with how rosette nebula came out when stacked 6.6 hours data to check. So I just drizzled the data on APP and did a massive crop to isolate Rosette. 

Since Rosette is at the top right corner of my main image, oblong stars from the corners has plagued the stars at the centre of rosette. It could be result of aberrations from my lens or there is a tilt issue between my camera sensor and the lens. I think it is the latter. My camera/lens mounting system is introducing the tilt between the camera and the lens. My guiding has been okay with normal RMS error around 1.2 arc seconds. I am in process of investigating this issue. 

In any case, till the wide-field is finished, this one deserves to be uploaded separately.

Title: starless

Description: I think the starless version looks better. For the first time star shapes have really started bothering me.
