Am still finding out what this little widefield telescope (SW ED65) will do. This picture was taken taken between 10.30 pm and 12.45 am last night/morning when that region of the sky cleared the electricity wires adjacent to my little observatory. It consists of 25 x 300sec subs taken through the 65mm F6.2 SW with a celestron nightscape.
hope you enjoy , Philip

The wider field of that telescope makes a wonderful picture of the Rosette! Not often you see it with some space around it (sorry about the lame pun).

Thanks Raymo and Bruce for the comments . Not bad for a scope purchased for less than $400 here on IIS. Added an Orion field flatter and a SCT to T thread adapter ( already had ) and beefed up the mounting.
