Description

Two cloud-puncuated hours on the Rosette Nebula. Here is a crop thanks to a stubborn light pollution gradient I couldn't be bothered to fight any longer. First try with the new MoonLite auto-focuser, so the focus here isn't great as I think my settings for step size, data points and backlash compensation need to be tweaked before the results are consistent. Seeing was also particularly poor. Overall, the focuser is a beautiful piece of kit, and performed very well.
