Rosette

Here's a pic of the Rosette nebula from about 6 weeks ago.

Details:

WO ZS110 Apo with 0.8 Focal Reducer
Canon 350D, unmodified
Autoguided with Orion Starshoot AG
6 x 10min @ 800ISO lights, calibrated with darks only
Losmandy GM8

A lot of work went into beating up the red in PS. I also need to fiddle with the so-called field flattener, because the corner stars are quite elongated. It's not the same all round because I cropped some of the left edge--nebula wasn't quite centered.
