Hi all,

Last night's good Melbourne weather gave me 3h36 of integration on the Rosette nebula. Sadly, I had to throw out two and half hours from after the meridian flip because stars went badly out of focus after the flip for some reason (?). Would have got over 6h, but still, I am really happy with this result. I am in two minds as to whether I should add a few hours of data or just have fun and move on!

Strange star shapes in top left corner. Any advice?

Please feel free to comment and offer helpful tips from future improvements.

Many thanks,
Stéphane
