NGC2237 first try

I squeezed this in when the sky cleared but only for a few hours. This is my first attempt at the Rosettte and I wasn't sure what the results were going to be since I had some images with aircraft lights streaking through. Luckily I didn't have that many (only 2 out of 20 exp. 4 min each).

Too bad my focus looks a little off. Hard to tell until the image is processed.

Thanks for looking,

Great wide-field shot Brian!
Excellent detail!


Thank you!

Focus looks good to me, Brian! Then again, we're our own worst critics. Great shot, and as I told Ivan on his version, this is a target that has so far eluded me (not so much by its availability but by my being distracted by so many other targets).

Hi Brian, nice shot! I enjoy comparing the difference between yours and mine. Yours does offer a greater measure of detail, definition and contrast, while mine is a little "softer".
Ivan

Beautifully framed, Brian. Focus looks fine to me too. Colour is a little magenta to me, though. Great job!
