Has been too hot for astropics here in the hunter, managed to get 20x100 second subs of the rosette nebula using my 120ED and nightscape OSC camera with 2x2 binning, darks /flats /biases. stretched a little too much , more data needed (30mins is way too short). first pic is processed in astrofx and ps , second pic enhanced wth diffraction spikes using Noel Carboni's astronomy tools just for fun . will definitely get more data next time at full resolution when its cooler.

Not bad for a "hot shot". I tried it the other night and gave up after 2 subs. It was full of noise from the heat.

Nice colour on this one I have just started to accumulate data on this object I have only 10 minutes so far but I think I need about another hour and a half.
