What do you do when you're in love with the Rosette nebula but your FOV is too small to fit it in?
What do you do when you've have a week of cloud, the forecasts show XMAS and New Year will be cloud, but tonight is predicted to be reasonable?
What do you do then when clouds keep coming over during subs and you collect 1/3 the data you wanted and thought you'd need?
You have a go anyway!
Then you happily nuke as much noise as you think you can get away with and still leave some sort of decent result. I guess its just wispy hydrogen and dust we're talking about here anyway....
So here's my attempt at the Rosette from last Wed.
9 x 5mins ISO 800, 450D + MPCC/LPS on 8" Newt
