Narrowband makes this one good even from within the light dome of Berlin.

At least you had scopes of less focal length than my 3650 to 3680 (longer in cold weather). I'd need a minimum of 16 frames to capture this one. I once did a Ha of a small part of it but haven't returned to it. I keep saying I need to get something short. I've now twice had a chance to buy an FSQ but so far budget said nope!

Weather has been bad recently, but two nights had enough holes in the clouds to gather some data for the nebula surrounding NGC 2244, the Rosette nebula.

I did RGB, Ha and OIII and combined an RGB image with a Ha:OIII:OIII image to get halfway natural colours.

Taken from Berlin with a TS 60/330mm ED at f/4.3, AZ-EQ6 mount, ASI1600MM camera, 18x2min each for RGB, 27x5min Ha, 16x5min OIII.
