Description

Before I went outside I decided that I would image NGC 2244 with my Astro Tech AT60ED Refractor. I've never imaged this object with that scope. When I went outside and set up my gear the sky was completely clear. I inteded on taking 70 or 80 light frames. I set my software to take 15 light frames. I usually do this so I can check my focus and guiding after every 15 frames. When I went back outside to check my 15 light frames I noticed that the sky had completely clouded over and not one star could be seen. I only got 5 usable light frames because of the clouds. I decided to take dark and bias frames and to try and process an image using the 5 light frames that I had captured. It's been cloudy and raining ever since. With all of that said please enjoy my most recent image of NGC 2244.
