Description

Incredible, but the sky cleared up for about three hours, not really enough for the Rosette but I made it my target anyway. The image of the region southwest of Betelgeuse (rev B) was taken in parallel and autoguided on the main mount (camera piggyback'ed, autoguiding 50mm results into super round stars). For the Rosette I used the Kenko Astro Type II LPR filter, which seems to do a formidable job cutting unwanted light. The filter is one of the prizes from the photo contest last month.
