Description

A fairly short exposure of the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2244) after finally achieving autofocus with my Megrez 90 + 8300c camera for the first time. Focus is certainly improved but this demonstrated just how many subs are required with the relatively insensitive ST8300c camera in order to achieve any reasonable level of SNR. Only noise processing saved this.
