Description

A somewhat indifferent night at Speargrass Flat, so I thought I would give the Nikon 200mm f2 lens a run.  Chose the Rosette/Cone area before it disappears over the tree in the west.  I also think think area suits a OSC quite well, with some loverly reflection nebula and some great dynamic range on the HII regions/. 

In the end, I am embarrassed to say I only got 1h 5mins on it - all through cloud - before the field eventually set behind the trees.  It is unlikely I will resist this year, so I thought I would post the image.  For a cloudy hour of integration, I have seen worse.
