Description

Initially wanted to capture the Cone & Christmas tree nebula for the holiday season, but being in the desert on a cold winter night trying out new gear was not a great idea.

When life gives you lemons though you make lemonade.

So I settled for the rosette nebula, as suggested by my more experience Desert Astro companion, to test a Sigma 150-600 on a Skywatcher AZ GTI with guiding.

Needless to say what ever can go wrong went wrong, well sort of.

Long story short I'm very pleased with the result.

Thanks @Ahmed Waddah for your suggestions, and the many items of gear you lent me 

Merry Xmas Everyone and a happy new year.
