The area of the Rosette Nebula (bottom) and Christmas Tree Cluster (top) in Monoceros with the Fornax Lightrack tracker and 200mm lens + Canon 5D MkII
The area of the Rosette Nebula (bottom) and Christmas Tree Cluster (top) in Monoceros with the Fornax Lightrack tracker and 200mm lens + Canon 5D MkII. The nebulosity at top includes the Cone Nebula. Slightly trailed in this stack of 10 x 3 minute exposures at ISO 800, due to poor polar alignment due to polar scope not being orthogonal to the polar axis. Trailed in RA and Dec so not trailed just because of drive errors. Useful as a demo image and as a small illustration.
