NGC2579 in moonlight

[tornado33]

Hi
Upon seeing stars for the first time in quite a while, despite a more than first quarter moon, I had a go at NGC2579
http://www.users.on.net/~josiah/temp/2579.jpg
a small obscure nebula in Puppis.
Its a 5 minute ISO 400 and 10 minute ISO 200 shot stacked.

Trust you to get the failt fuzzy in the camera lens. Well Done Scott.

had not heard of this object ...nice find

Very obscure Scott.. is your guiding/tracking a bit off? The stars seem a bit more elongated than your previous shots.. or is it because it's a full crop?

The guide star wasnt really bright enough to accurately guide with, and yep its a crop from a bigger image, it works out at nearly full resoloution.
