Fraser, the link does not pull up the photo. I would like to see the Rosette in Hydrogen alpha. It's a very difficult visual object with amateur scopes, but absolutely fall-off-a-log easy with cameras. Nice piggyback object. Somewhere, I've got a 5x7 of the Rosette, but at the time I was using Konika ASA 3200 - can you say grain? Sure, I knew you could.
