Description

Finally getting around to imaging my nemesis nebula. When I first started out last year with a Star Tracker and my Sony A65, I tried to image this nebula on many occasions; however, most nights ended in frustration as it was very difficult to even frame from my backyard. It was much easier to frame after I purchased a red dot finder for my camera, but even then I could only take 90-120 second subs before I started getting elongated stars; so I just couldn't get enough data for anything presentable. This is my first set of data on the Rosette Nebula with my new setup.
