COMMENTS
This was going to be a bigger project covering this area of the sky, but after framing the object the total opposite I was targeting, I gave it up and got busy with other things. Four months later, out of full-moon boredom, I went to see if I could save some of the data and get at least something out of it, and this area of the Rosette was about the only thing I could use. The image is a large crop and reduced version from the original.
