Rosette Nebula

Rosette Nebula is a H-II region in Monoceros. It has twice the diameter of the Moon, but too dim to be seen at naked eye. These are 45 minutes of exposure, with bad guiding. I had trouble understanding the ASIAIR 2.0 app's new interface, and I messed up declination guiding. BlurXTerminator to the rescue! Now stars are almost perfectly round and the nebula details are sharp. I'm in awe with this PixInsight plugin.
