NGC 2237... The Rosette nebula

I can't believe I got this! I piggy backed my modded 20D onto my ETX90ra (which has just a motor drive, no other electronics) Slapped my 70-200mm f/4L on thinking I would be wasting my time. I was getting annoyed I was getting basicly nothing anyway so I figured why not.

By was I suprised when I loaded this up. Too bad though this is only a single image out of 10. The rest are wind blown or worse.

Since the image is larger then the 1024pixel size, here is the link:

Details, single 90 sec exposure at ISO 800. Canon 70-200mm f/4L lens at 200mm, f/4.5. Right now, I want to say this is 5% image and 95% processing... Noels tools helped a lot here

Yep there she is. I did a lot of imaging piggybacking a 10D and 70-200 atop a LX200 and as you found there was a very high wastage rate which started out as fun but ended up just being frustrating as I always found myself thinking a few more subs would have made all the difference!
