March Challenge - Rosette Nebula from Kent UK

We had a clear sky last night so I topped up my
Messier tally and then pointed the 80mm guide scope at the Rosette. Nice image of the
NGC 2244 cluster but it seems 20, 100 second unguided exposures fails to capture the nebulosity of
NGC 2237. I left the vignetting to make it look like I caught the rosette more than I did!

Well, you got something there that is definitely the beginning of a capture for the nebula.

Cheers Joe. There is a faint hint of nebulosity! The only way I could improve it would be to use my main scope as a guide scope and get some longer exposures on the 80mm!

Great image!
There is a faint hint at the nebula that may be coaxed out a little more.

The nebulosity is right there trying to come through!
Really nice ngc2244!

Thanks
Maybe I'll try a 9 panel mosaic with the 9.25, next year!
