    I've recently discovered the Rosetta Nebula. I've always imaged Orion, but then found out that this nebula wasn't too far away, and actually higher in sky. Here's my first attempts, taken February 5 2018 rosetta4web.jpg

    I noticed that you have an Orion ST80. i use that to image sometines, and although it gives false color, I like the wide field it produces.

    We're all fans of the ST80's it seems. Once sneered at by the APO-Crowd, they've become more acceptable.

    That's a GSO Dual-Focus 10:1 Crayford-Focuser (with a larger fine-focus wheel) which cost more than the ST80 itself. But more than worth it in my book. This demonstrates a truly devoted fan of little babies!
