Description

This is NGC 2244 (open cluster of the Rosette nebula), 5 x 10 minutes UNGUIDED with Explore Scientific 127 Triplet APO and Ioptron CEM120 EC2. The double encoders seems to be working very well. This is a crop to show you how round are the stars. Not perfect but I am happy. Focal lenght was around 650 mmm. Stacked with Deep Sky Stacker and a simple Histogram Transformation in PixInsight 1.8.7. It was for testing purposes so I did not dither and there is some walking noise. Camera is a Zwo 1600 MM Pro.
