Description

First night at the chalet with reasonably clear skies in six months.  The forecast suggested the break in the clouds wouldn't last long, so I didn't have high hopes of capturing much decent data, but I'm glad I persevered.

Returning to the Rosette Nebula after a couple of years and for the first time since getting to grips with AF and guiding I'm really happy with the results.  Also making use of Russell Croman's tools (BXT,NXT and SXT) fully for the first time made processing a delight.  It was definitely a 'wow' moment when I saw how well BlurXterminator had corrected the star shapes in the corners of the field.
