Description

Caldwell 49 (C49) also known as the Rosette Nebula. 5,000 light years distance, and 130 light years in size.

I finally decided to forgo any further data collection for Andromeda and Jellyfish Nebula until next year. So, finally a clear night last night, I've started to work on "new' targets. Perhaps a bit more time on the Rosette Nebula in the near future (weather permitting), or on to something else. Many options:-)

Final version has 6 hours and 45 minutes of integration. Not the best data. Very humid with poor seeing conditions, winds on the last night, but still stacked well, and stars remained round.

Title: Rosette with additional 85 minutes integration

Description: Still working on the Rosette Nebula. Last night was windy, but I persevered and captured an additional 85 minutes of integration time. Detail seems somewhat improved. For now, I think I'm done. At least until next year.
