Celestron CGX + 11" F2 RASA vs Full Moon (NB Rosette Nebula)

Here is my first success with the newly upgraded setup (Santa was good to me this year). New mount, new scope and new (for me) QHY9M mono CCD. I've jumped from an EQ6 / c9.25" Edge HD/Hyperstar Rig to this new config so it's taken some adjustment. That said, my goodness the RASA is fast. These are 1 minute exposures. Approx 30 for each channel (Ha, OIII, SII). HST palette and using Ha for Luminance. Processing in PI and PS.

Despite poor conditions (moon + wind), I knocked this over in a straight 2.5 hour run, taking 120 exposures and throwing away the worst 30.
