Description

NGC 2264. Found this one a bit faint (especially in light polluted suburbs). Plus got the annoying reflection off the secondary around the bright star at the top due to the RC scope.

Tried to compensate for the faintness with longer exposure - taken over 3 sessions. But the guiding in one of the sessions was terrible due to windy conditions. This hasn't helped the image!
