Rosette nebula using an Orion 0.8x focal reducer on a SW 120ED

Took this picture with my SW ED120 Orion 0.8x focal reducer and celestron nightscape 2x2 binning , sensor temperature 1deg celsius. 40 x 100second pictures stacked and processed in astrofx then photoshop. one is as is and the other with false diffraction spikes . this was my first use of the focal reducer , the scope would be running at F6.
regards philip

I was wondering how that scope would go with that FR. Looks good to me right to the edge.
