Since I'm using Sequence Gen Pro, I was getting some shots of the Rosette, and that target ran until about 4am, so I had some time left over before dawn so I decided to add some short exposures of the Beehive before the sun came up.
There was an awful lot cropped out because of star elongation and some red cast that was spreading across the top of the frame.
