The Rosette Nebula in Monoceros

5 x 10-minute exposures at ISO 1600.

Canon EOS 600D (modified by DSLRAstromod), Meade ED 127mm f7.5 telescope, manually, off-axis guided. Sub-exposures registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker software.

The stars are rather bloated, especially towards the lower left, as unfortunately the camera was not fitted exactly square on the telescope. I didn't realise until I went to process the images the next day. I've done this before, ironically the last time I photographed this same object!
